Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said President Rodrigo Duterte was always aware of the situation and had been directing government agencies to do what they can to help Filipinos affected by the typhoon. ADVERTISEMENT“People should not ask where the President is because the President is always on top of the situation. In this time of technology, he gets to know what is happening in the different areas of the country,” Roque said at a press briefing. Roque claimed that the political opposition was behind the trending hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo and asked it to stop that kind of online activity. The real message of the President is, ‘I am one with the victims of this typhoon,’” Roque said.
