MANILA — Malaca\u00f1ang on Thursday assured the public that there is nothing to worry about the health of President Rodrigo Duterte despite being absent from the public eye for the past several days, saying the Chief Executive is just taking some well-deserved rest after a brutal schedule.<\/p>\n

According to Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella, the President is in the Palace where he has been resting for some time considering his very hectic schedule since declaring martial law in Mindanao while still in Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President is well. The President just needs (some rest)\u2026 After all, you have to consider that he has been on the road for at least 23 days fulfilling his martial law supervision. It has been really brutal so we have to allow him this kind of rest,\u201d Abella said at a Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

The last public appearance of Duterte was on Sunday at Villamor Airbase in Pasay where he visited the wake of eight of the 13 Philippine Marines killed in action in Marawi City.<\/p>\n

Since then, he has not been seen in public, even missing the Independence Day ceremonies at Rizal Park last Monday, fueling speculations that the President is ill.<\/p>\n

However, Abella said that there is nothing to worry about in terms of sickness<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is just tired,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Abella said the Palace cannot give a definite date on the President\u2019s next public appearance, only that part of his future schedules included visits to evacuations centers for Maarwi evacuees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot really give you the definite date. But he\u2019s just taking some time off to rejuvenate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, as soon as he is able to\u2026 As soon as he can fit it (visit to evacuation centers) in to his schedules, I already seen some of his schedules, I\u2019m sure he will accommodate some of that,\u201d Abella said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
