MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo R. Duterte is \u201cmost likely\u201d going to skip the 33rd anniversary of the People Power Revolution of 1986 on February 25, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said since the President was also absent in the last two anniversaries, he might again opt to skip it to prioritize work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWala pang nababanggit.<\/em>\u00a0Two years\u00a0nang wala eh<\/em>, so most likely\u00a0di rin a-attend yun.<\/em>\u00a0(He has not mentioned anything yet. He was absent in the past two events, so most likely, he won\u2019t attend this one),\u201d Panelo said in a Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaraming trabaho yung Presidente eh<\/em>\u00a0(The President has a lot of work to do),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Panelo, however, said the President still found the event \u201cimportant\u201d since he still issued statements to recognize its historical significance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember he issued a statement. So it\u2019s important,\u201d Panelo said, stressing that the President simply wanted to \u201cfocus on work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panelo also denied that Duterte\u2019s decision not to attend the anniversary events had anything to do with the Marcos family.<\/p>\n

Last year, former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque denied that Duterte attempted to \u201cdiminish\u201d the significance of the peaceful revolution, which toppled dictator and former president Ferdinand Marcos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
