WATCH: Cockroach crawls on Duterte, briefly stops his speech
MANILA, Philippines – A cockroach landed and crawled on the polo shirt of President Rodrigo Duterte while he was delivering a speech at a campaign rally in Bohol on Wednesday night.
An hour and a half into his speech, Duterte was unceremoniously stopped by the cockroach that appeared to have landed on his back and crept towards the President’s upper arm as he was praising his senatorial candidates, particularly Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos.
Duterte’s aide tried to remove the cockroach using a folder before it could find its way to the front, but it got the President’s attention and eventually, the unfazed Chief Executive took matters into his own hand, flicking the insect down to floor and went on with his speech like nothing happened.
