Senator Christopher "Bong" Go informed the public that Former President Rodrigo Duterte is still alive and kicking.
In a Facebook live on Thursday at Duterte's house in Davao City, Go clarified that the circulating news that the former president already died is untrue.
"Sa mga nagpapakalat sa TikTok ba may masamang balita kay Former President Duterte hindi po iyon totoo. He is alive and kicking," said Go who was beside Duterte.
(For those spreading on TikTok, is there bad news about Former President Duterte, that is not true. He is alive and kicking.)
"Syempre may edad na po si pangulong Duterte kahit papano may kaunting sakit pero at his age he is very healthy," he also said.
(Of course, President Duterte is old, at least he has some illnesses, but at his age, he is very healthy.)
Meanwhile, Duterte greeted the public and said he was just relaxing.
He advised the public not to be shocked when they knew he died as everyone would soon be dying.
"Matanda na ako nagsilbi na ako sa inyo ng pinakamatagal — wag kayong magtaka kung mamamatay ako. Mas mabuti pang magtanong bakit pa ayaw magpahinga matanda na pero kung mabalitaan ninyo na mamatay ako, lahat tayo, ikaw, ako, lahat ng kaharap ko sa mundong ito mamamatay tayo, hindi ako exception," the Former President said.
(I am old, I have served you the longest — do not be surprised if I die. It's better to ask why you don't want to rest as an old man, but if you hear that I'm going to die, all of us, you, me, everyone I face in this world will die, I'm no exception.)
Furthermore, Duterte thanked his supporters for giving him the strength and motivation.
Go assured his commitment and will provide medical needs for the Former President.
"Mahal na mahal ko po siya at lagi niya pinapaalala, just do what is right," said the Senator.
