Walang nakikitang mali si CIBAC Rep. Sherwin Tugna kung regular na isasapubliko ang kalagayan ng kalusugan ni Pangulong Duterte.
Ayon kay Tugna ang kalusugan ng pangulo ay mahalagang bagay na dapat malaman ng mga Filipino.
“I believe that their stand is but proper. The President’s health is a matter of national concern. The administration should be transparent,” ani Tugna, chairman ng House committee on suffrage and electoral reform.
Sinabi in Tugna na madalas ding lumalabas sa publiko ang pangulo kaya maaaring ang taumbayan na rin ang makakita kung mayroon itong karamdaman o wala.
“It is my personal view that the admin is transparent considering that the President is always in public, can be seen and the Filipino people themselves can assess whether he is in a good state or not,” dagdag pa ni Tugna.
Nauna ng sinabi nina Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate at Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao ang kahalagahan na sabihin sa publiko ang tunay na kalagayan ng kalusugan ni Duterte.
“Inamin naman niya frequent migraine. Of course we can understand that the people are concerned about the President’s health. He is the oldest President to be elected in our history,” ani Casilao.
Si Duterte ang pinakamatandang naging pangulo ng bansa sa edad na 71.
“It would be better for his own physician, his official doctor to say what he is feeling. I think Malacañang will have to consider those things…the doctor of the President will have to give official medical bulletin,” saad ni Zarate.
