PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte is expected to return to Malacañang late Monday, May 18, after a weekend trip to Davao City, his hometown, to see his family.
The President, who often goes home to Davao City, was cooped up in Malacañang for 67 days because Metro Manila went into community quarantine due to the coronavirus disease pandemic on March 15. Asked why the President chose to visit Davao instead of typhoon-ravaged Samar Island or Covid-19 hotspot Cebu City, Roque pointed out that the 75-year-old President is among those vulnerable to Covid-19.
