On Monday (November 2, 2020), Senator Richard Gordon sees nothing wrong with President Rodrigo Duterte resting and staying at his home in Davao City. He even quoted that God rest on the seventh day.
“Each one to his own taste and judgment… Even God said you should rest on the 7th day, everybody has the duty to protect the president of the Philippines. The president will not go if there is a threat to his life and a threat can be physical or can be a health threat,” Gordon said.
