Duterte is unable to attend today’s Quad Comm hearing due to feeling unwell and needing rest.

This information was based on a short notice sent by the former president’s lawyer to the committee.

De Lima’s testimony is also highly anticipated, especially as she was one of the victims of the Duterte administration’s war on drugs.
