President Duterte will not be addressing the nation this week after several members of the PSG contracted COVID-19. Read more:
Duterte's weekly "Talk to the People" usually airs on Monday night. But his spokesman Harry Roque said the chief executive's speech this week would not push through "in light of the rising number of active COVID-19 cases."
Some members of the President's security team tested positive for COVID-19, said Duterte's former longtime aide, Sen. Christopher Go. However, "there is nothing to worry about," said Go, who added that Duterte was in Manila. It was not immediately clear who among the security members contracted COVID-19, but questions were raised because Duterte last year admitted that some members of the PSG already had COVID-19 vaccines from Chinese state firm Sinopharm.
