MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— For the second time, President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s one-on-one interview with Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo has been rescheduled for next week.<\/p>\n

In a video message, Panelo announced that his one-on-one interview with the President set on Tuesday was once again canceled because Duterte is feeling \u201cunder the weather.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood evening televiewers and our countrymen. We are sorry that you have to wait for some time for this t\u00eat\u00ea-a-t\u00eat\u00ea for the President,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the President is presently under the weather. He had several meetings yesterday and he had to pore on many documents, hence, he does not feel well today. We will have to move this one-on-one interview with the President perhaps next week,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Panelo, however, could not tell the exact date of his rescheduled interview with the President.<\/p>\n

The one-on-one interview between Duterte and Panelo was originally scheduled on Jan. 22 but was moved to Jan. 28 due to \u201cpressing family matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Russia Today aired on Jan. 24, the 74-year-old President admitted that there are times when he gets tired a \u201cbit\u201d due to \u201ctremendous\u201d stress driven by his heavy workload.<\/p>\n

Duterte\u2019s admission came after 72 percent of adult Filipinos expressed worry about his health condition, according to the results of the December 13 to 16 poll by Social Weather Stations (SWS).<\/p>\n

Duterte has informed the public that he has muscle spasms, chronic back pains, and migraines.<\/p>\n

He is also suffering from myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that weakens skeletal muscles responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body.<\/p>\n

The President likewise has Barrett\u2019s esophagus, a potentially serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Buerger\u2019s disease, a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs.<\/p>\n

Despite his age and health issues, Duterte can still \u201ceffectively\u201d fulfill his mandate as the country\u2019s president, Panelo said on January 22.<\/p>\n

Panelo\u2019s first t\u00eat\u00ea-a-t\u00eat\u00ea with the President was in September 2018.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s televised interview with the President was expected to raise several pressing issues the country is presently facing.<\/p>\n

Among the issues that will be tackled during the interview are the suspected cases of deadly 2019 novel coronavirus in the Philippines, the Taal Volcano\u2019s unrest, and the proliferation of prostitution dens catering exclusively to Philippine Gaming Offshore Operators workers, Panelo said in a Palace press briefing earlier Tuesday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
