Pagsama ng ilang Gabinete sa pagbisita ng pangulo sa Japan, itinuturing na “pabuya”

Maituturing umanong “pabuya” ang pagsasama ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa ilan Gabinete nito sa kaniyang pagpunta sa Japan.

Ayon kay Philippine Ambassador to Japan Jose Laurel V, ito’y marahil sa magandang resulta ng midterm elections kung saan marami sa mga kaalyado ng administrasyon ang nanalo sa national at local posts

Paliwanag naman ni Laurel, hindi maituturing na junket at walang ginastos ang pamahalaan sa biyahe ng Pangulo sa Japan dahil sinagot ito ng Japanese Firm na Nikkei.

1. Dept. Of Foreign Affairs Sec. Teodoro Locsin
