Duterte to del Rosario: You have no business using govt-issued diplomatic passport

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Monday chided former Foreign Affairs secretary Albert del Rosario for using his government-issued diplomatic passport to attend a private business meeting in Hong Kong, where he was barred entry.

Del Rosario was scheduled to attend a board and shareholders meeting of Hong Kong-listed First Pacific on June 21, but immigration officials held him at the airport and later ordered his deportation.
