Sara Duterte holds a press conference. Katrina Domingo, ABS-CBN NewsMANILA — Regional police have confirmed that Vice President Sara Duterte went to Bicol, including to Calaguas Island in Camarines Norte, from Sept. 20 to 23.

Police BGen. Andre Dizon, director of Police Regional Office 5, said Duterte arrived in Bicol — an administrative region of six provinces — on Sept. 20 and was on Calaguas Island from Sept. 22 to 23.

The memorandum report also showed that Duterte went to Naga City in Camarines Sur, where she went to the Archbishop's Palace and met former Vice President Leni Robredo at her home there.

He said the information was from residents whom police had talked to.

"Actually, 'yung arrival lang ang na-monitor natin, yung pagdating niya sa Bicol International Airport noong Sept. 20. 'Yun ang monitor natin. So, from there, nag-provide tayo ng area security kasi kailangan i-secure kasi mataas na opisyal ng ating bansa," Dizon added.

DUTERTE SAYS CALAGUAS VISIT COULD HELP TOURISM 


Duterte confirmed the visit to Calaguas at a press conference on Wednesday.

"Accurate yung report ng PNP. [Alas-6:32] umalis ako sa Calaguas ng Monday. Ang budget hearing started 10 a.m.. Tama din ako na walang budget hearing na nangyayari ng 6:32 a.m.," Duterte said.  

(PNP's report was accurate. I left for Calaguas on Monday. The budget hearing started at 10 a.m. I was right that there was no budget hearing that transpired 6:32 a.m)

Duterte's office this week accused unnamed media outlets for reporting that "she[was] on the beach while the House of Representatives [was] conducting the plenary delliberations on the budget", saying the reports were "fake news" meant to discredit her. 

The OVP said that Duterte made stops in Vinzons and Daet in Camarines Norte as well as in Legazpi City in Albay.

Calaguas Island is part of Vinzons town.

"Dahil sa aking pagbisita doon, na-highlight ang Calaguas islands. They need more visitors there kasi karamihan sa kanila may bisita lang during summer dahil maalon," she said. 

(Because of my visit, Calaguas Islands was highlighted. They need more visitors because most of them go only during the summer due to the waves.)
