We send our condolences to Japan.
President Rodrigo Duterte’s audience with His Majesty Emperor Akihito of Japan at the Imperial Palace had to be called off.
“The meeting, which was orignally set for 5pm on Thu, Oct 27, was cancelled as the royal family went into mourning following the death of their oldest member, Prince Mikasa, the uncle of Akihito,” reports InterAksyon.com.
The report noted: “Mikasa, who was already 100 years old, was the youngest brother of Japan’s late war-time emperor Hirohito, father of the current emperor.”
