Duterte to stay longer in Davao for 2nd visit –Roque

President Rodrigo Duterte will stay longer in Davao City for his second visit since an enhanced community quarantine was placed on Metro Manila, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Saturday.

The President flew to Davao City on early Saturday.

"Nung unang uwi naman niya kasi tatlong araw lang, so ngayon medyo tatagalan niya pero itutuloy po niya yung pag-gaganap ng kanyang tungkulin," Roque said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV.

"'Yung dati niyang ginagawa na nagoopisina doon... ay itutuloy po niya at doon nga po 'yung talumpati niya sa bayan," he added.

Presidential Security Group commander Jesus Durante III, however, said that the President was expected back in Malacañang Palace on Monday.

"Hindi ko po alam kung aabot ng buong isang linggo. Basta alam ko po merong mensahe sa taong bayan at meron po tayong press briefing doon," Roque said.

Duterte's first visit to Davao City since the ECQ was implemented in Metro Manila took place two weeks ago. — DVM, GMA News
