That include his relatives,\u201d Roque said in a Palace press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in one instance, the President asked me to tell the public to stay away even from his siblings because the President did not give any mandate to his siblings to do business in government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Duterte\u2019s brother created the Japan-Philippines Global Coin platform last January and is now applying for Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) license.<\/p>\n<p>The BSP has so far granted licenses to two bitcoin exchange platforms \u2013 Rebittance and Betur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe repeatedly said he has nothing to do with what his siblings want to do.
