(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte has plans of going around Metro Manila on board his motorcycle.
This is according to Presidential Security Group chief Brigadier General Jose Eriel Niembra who spoke to reporters on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
According to Niembra, though, he was against the idea.
President Duterte is a known motorcycle enthusiast.
In October, he figured in a motorcycle accident in the PSG compound that saw him sustaining bruises and wounds.
A day after the incident, the President was seen testing a scooter in Bahay ng Pagbabago, Duterte’s official residence in Malacañang, in pictures released by Senator Bong Go, his former long-time aide.
The President later pushed through with a scheduled trip to Japan, but had to return to the country due to “unbearable back pain.”
Doctors who examined him said the pain was due to “muscle spasms.”
