“The Inter-Agency Task Force allowed only 10 people to join the celebration. The problem is, people will really want to see the President if he is there. That cannot be avoided.Wherever we celebrate, in Luneta or Davao City, that will be the problem,” Roque said in a press briefing, adding that Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea will represent Mr. Duterte in the wreath-laying and flag-raising rites.
Roque said that Mr. Duterte’s taped address for the country’s 122nd Independence Day rites would be played after the ceremony.
