The President just made a sidetrip to a mall after accompanying Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go in the latter’s filing of his Certificate of Candidacy last Saturday, October 2. However, this was tainted with malice from an expected critic who relishes on putting the Chief Executive in a bad light.

President Duterte went around personally checking how businesses are faring with the re-opening of industries and the economy. PRRD stayed for a few minutes and bought cookies – not a high-end watch, as one senator maliciously implied.

The President has worked tirelessly during this pandemic and will spend the remaining days of his term guiding the country towards post-COVID-19 recovery.
