By MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte on Tuesday said that his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte is okay and that they discussed politics and the recent flood control mess during their conversation last Friday.
In an ambush interview after the end of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) budget deliberations at the House of Representatives, Vice President Duterte was asked about the state of her father, who is currently detained at the International Criminal Court (ICC) headquarters at the Hauge, the Netherlands.
There have been concerns about Duterte’s health from his supporters, as legal counsel Nicholas Kaufman told the ICC that the former President is suffering from cognitive deficiencies and is unable to recall events, places, and even members of his close family, and even the defense team.
