Sen. Bong Go Arrives at NAIA Ahead of Former Pres. Duterte
BONG GO – The Senator came with the doctor of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to check on him saying he has a lot of sickness.
Countless Filipinos were surprised over the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) today. He just arrived this morning from Hong Kong.
Duterte flew to Hong Kong for the supposed leg of the campaign rallies of the PDP-Laban. However, they were prohibited to campaign in a public assembly so they had a thanksgiving event.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte spoke about the rumored arrest warrant against him by the International Criminal Court or ICC first at the thanksgiving assembly. According to the former Chief Executive, the ICC was after him for a long time now.
Duterte stressed to the Pinoys at the event that his actions were in line with his pursuit for peace and security in the country. Previously, at the hearing of the House Quad Committee, the former President said he’s not impressed with the ICC as it has not imprisoned anyone.
Former Pres. Duterte also told the ICC to hurry up and come to the Philippines as he might die without being investigated. The former Chief Executive is turning 80 years old this month.
Prior to the arrival of his flight at NAIA, Sen. Bong Go arrived in the airport. The Senator was with one of the doctors of the former President based on a post of ABS-CBN News on social media.
“Nandirito po ang doctor ni former Pres. Duterte, si Doc Agnes at dalawa pang doctor. Constitutional right po ng bawat Pilipino unahin ang medical,” the Senator said.
Based on the post, Sen. Bong Go also stressed the advanced age of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte. According to him, the former Chief Executive has a lot of illnesses already.
“May procedure po siya [Duterte] bukas kaya po siya [Doc Agnes} andito may dala kaming ambulansya…. Marami ho siyang [Duterte} sakit mag-80 years old na po siya. March 28 mag-80 years old na po ‘yung matanda,” Sen. Bong Go said.
The partner of Duterte, Honeylet Avanceña, was also spotted convincing him not to go with the PNP and the Interpol citing the alleged absence of a warrant of arrest.
