(There’s one president who is admittedly on medicine. There’s somebody loopy, however drug dependancy is long-term. Marcos will likely be loopy. Perhaps fixed use of heroin. Perhaps he might attain the age of 80, however by that point, he’s not shifting.)

“Both nakatindig lang yan sa kwarto niya or natutulog,” he added.

(Both he’s standing in his room or sleeping.)

Duterte didn’t elaborate on his declare, however to notice, it was not the primary time that he linked Marcos to using unlawful medicine.
