A person cannot be always healthy and be able to live forever, President Duterte said yesterday in trying to squelch speculations about his health condition.

The 74-year-old President explained that any person of his age usually suffers illness and takes maintenance medicines.

“Kung may tatay ka man 74, kayo mga 74, mga tatay niyo 74. Huwag kayong magtanong kung may maintenance kami. Lahat ng 74 may maintenance ‘yan. Aspirin para sa heart,” he said over GMA’s morning program “Unang Hirit.”

“You cannot be healthy forever. You cannot live forever,” he added.

Duterte, however, assured the public that he could still perform his job despite old age.

“You can work, tapos kung may medisina ka, mag-inom ka, kagaya ng… Baka bago ko lang sa regimen sa antibiotic,” he said.

Asked if he had a recent complete medical checkup, the President said he has regular blood pressure and temperature checks.

“Complete check-up, mahirap yan, magastos,” he said.

“Dito sa, kung Presidente ka, sa ayaw mo at sa hindi, sa ayaw mo at sa hindi ha, lahat ng Presidente
