We edit out the portions which are not for public consumption because, as I said, you cannot make good policy just on the basis that they are popular policies that is why there is executive privilege,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Roque, Duterte is always consulted before cuts to his speeches are made.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured anew that the President would inform the public should he learn that he is seriously ill, as part of his obligation as a lawyer and the country\u2019s highest elected official.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe took an oath as a lawyer and as President to uphold the laws of the land and the Constitution. And the Constitution only says if there is a serious illness is there an obligation to reveal to the public the details of his health condition,\u201d<br \/>\nRoque said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he maintained that Duterte\u2019s daily official schedule has always been confidential.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy glucophage online <a href=\"https:\/\/bereniceelectrolysis.com\/formvalidation\/dist\/html\/glucophage.html\">https:\/\/bereniceelectrolysis.com\/formvalidation\/dist\/html\/glucophage.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI release a copy of the schedule and there is always a warning there that it\u2019s a secret information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Duterte bared that his doctor had advised him to stop drinking as his Barrett\u2019s esophagus was \u201cnearing Stage 1 cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barrett\u2019s esophagus is a potentially serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
