According to Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Secretary Ramon Carandang, President Benigno Aquino III will be taking a break to rest because of health problems. This is after Health Secretary Enrique Ona suggested for him to do so after a “bum stomach” he suffered from while he was on an official function in Australia last October. This “bum stomach” prevented him from meeting International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde last November.
According to ABS-CBN, the president has acid reflux. He also suffered from fever and muscle pains before flying to Cambodia for the ASEAN Summit. And let’s not forget that PNoy is a smoker.
Carandang thinks the president will be going to Baguio and Tarlac with Cabinet Secretary Rene Almendras and some friends after Christmas.
He was quick to add, though, that PNoy will be bringing some paperwork with him.
