Needless speculative frenzy over President’s healthBy The Manila Timeshome/Opinion/Editorial/Needless speculative frenzy over President’s healthInstead of letting our imagination and proclivity to gossip run away from us, we urge the government bureaucracy, the public and the media to take guidance first from the specific constitutional provision governing the occurrence of illness affecting the health of the President. The Charter provides: “In case of serious illness of the President, the public shall be informed of the state of his health. It does not even suggest that competent doctors should issue periodic bulletins on the health of a sitting president. Concern by most of our people about President Duterte’s health and well-being is understandable. Like everyone, we want to be assured that the President is in good health and not facing any serious health problem.
