MANILA, Philippines — Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo called President Rodrigo Duterte’s comment on former Sen. Francisco "Kit" Tatad's wife “just a hyperbole.”“People are used to this president. Panelo denied Duterte had a kidney transplant and said the president was watching the biopic of Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa on the date mentioned by Tatad. But the comment which earned the ire of critics was when Duterte questioned Tatad's virility. Panelo dismissed the comment directed at Tatad’s wife as a joke. The audience also laughed at Duterte’s comment about spending 10 minutes with Tatad’s wife.
