(UPDATES) PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday belied reports saying he had a medical emergency.
The President said he was in Malacañang attending to official business on Tuesday when news of him supposedly falling ill circulated online.
“I had a meeting in the morning, I had a command conference with some of our commanders, and I spent the rest of the day reading my briefs and doing paperwork,” he told reporters following a National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council situational briefing at Camp Aguinaldo.
“I was just surprised when they said medical emergency,” Marcos said.
The President denied he was recently hospitalized or afflicted with any kind of sickness. He cautioned the public to be wary of unverified reports.
“I'm here… Do I look sick? That's what you need to guard, fake news such as that. Unless it comes from a credible source,” he said.
“I had so many friends call me asking if I'm OK. That's plain foolishness. Well, it's totally and completely fake. I do not even have a cold; I do not have anything wrong with me. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern,” Marcos added.
