Palace quashes 'hospital' rumors, says President 'fine'

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte is 'fine,' Malacañang assured the public on Thursday, dismissing rumors that the Chief Executive was rushed to the hospital.

'There is no truth to the rumors that the President was rushed to the hospital. The President is in Davao. There is no truth. It is chismis (rumors). It is fake news,' Palace spokesman Harry Roque said during a press briefing in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.
