MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 President Rodrigo Duterte will have a \u201cfull schedule\u201d on Friday (June 26) for the virtual 36th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte will be attending at least six online Asean-related activities.<\/p>\n

These activities include the 36th Asean Summit; Asean Leaders Special Session on Women\u2019s Empowerment; Asean Leaders Interface with the Representatives of Asean Inter-Parliamentary Assembly; Asean Leaders Interface with Representatives of Asean Youth; Asean Leaders Interface with Representatives of Asean Business Advisory Council; and a press conference of Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, chairman of the 36th Asean Summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusy\u00a0po si Presidente sa<\/em>\u00a0Asean Summit,\u00a0itong linggong ito<\/em>\u00a0(The President will be busy during the Asean Summit this week),\u201d he said in a virtual presser. \u201cIt will take the whole day po of Friday. So it\u2019s a full schedule po for the President on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roque said he will also be present during all Asean-related activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadami pong pag-uusapan<\/em>, in fact,\u00a0madaming pagpupulong and nandoon po ako. Hindi ko alam kung natutuwa ako o hindi<\/em>\u00a0(There will be many topics. In fact, there will be many meetings and I\u2019ll be there. I don\u2019t know if I should be happy about it or not),\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

Roque said he has yet to determine if there will be a special session to discuss the Asean-China dialogue which the President chairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiguro po kabahagi po noong mga binasa kong mga<\/em>\u00a0schedule\u00a0pero wala pong<\/em>\u00a0special session\u00a0para sa pag-uulat<\/em>\u00a0on his chairmanship of China-related matters\u00a0\u2018no. Siguro po papasok po iyan doon sa<\/em>\u00a0meeting\u00a0mismo ng mga<\/em>\u00a0Heads of State of Asean (Perhaps it is part of the schedule I read but there is no special session for his report on his chairmanship of China-related matters. Perhaps it will be discussed in the meeting of the heads of states of Asean),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asean leaders were supposed to hold their 36th annual summit in April this year but the meeting was postponed due to the global threat posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

There was also a proposal from Vietnam, this year\u2019s chair of the 10-man regional bloc, to hold the 36th Asean summit in Hanoi, Vietnam on June 27 and 28.<\/p>\n

However, the final decision was to resort to a virtual summit on June 26 as the Covid-19 pandemic remains a threat in the region.<\/p>\n

Asean members are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
