President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO<\/p><\/div>\n

Long hours, numerous meetings, frequents trips and countless engagements come with the President\u2019s job. In his first year in office, President Duterte had a total of 753 public appearances and averaged two events a day.<\/p>\n\n

Despite that, the chief executive managed to find a life-work balance that had him enjoying some private time.<\/p>\n\n

In his 52 weeks as President, Mr. Duterte spent 14 weekends without any scheduled public event, had 13 working weekends and observed a one-day weekend 25 times.<\/p>\n\n

He also had fewer public activities from January to June this year, compared to his first six months in office in 2016.<\/p>\n\n

From a total of 430 public appearances from June 30 to December last year, his activities dwindled to only 323 activities in the last six months. The notable decline was shown in April, when he attended 74 events; in May, when he attended 55, and last June, when he joined 34 events.<\/p>\n\n

During the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Lima, Peru, in November, the President missed the gala dinner for Apec leaders as well as the traditional class picture.\u00a0\u00a0 In a message to his Peruvian hosts, Mr. Duterte said he was sick at the time.<\/p>\n\n

Awkward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Later, in a forum, he told a group of business executives that he was not really sick at the time. Being absent was just an excuse to avoid an \u201cawkward situation\u201d with former US President Barack Obama. Mr. Duterte had earlier described Obama as a \u201cson of a whore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

President Duterte also missed several events during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit meeting\u00a0 in Laos in September due to a \u201cbad headache.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Toward the end of June, the President was out of the public eye for almost a week, sparking speculations about his health. Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella, addressing concerns about Mr. Duterte\u2019s absence, said the President was \u201cvery busy\u201d and was \u201con top of the situation\u201d despite having made no public appearance from June 21 until June 26.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just taking some time off to rejuvenate … He\u2019s just tired. Like I said, he has been on the road for about 23 days,\u201d Abella said.<\/p>\n\n

The 72-year-old President is known to have back problems and migraines due to nerve damage after a motorcycle accident.\u00a0 He also admitted to having Barrett\u2019s esophagus, which affects his throat, as well as Buerger\u2019s disease, which can cause blockages in the blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n

Eid al-Fitr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

After disappearing for six days, Mr. Duterte appeared in a nationally televised address on June 27 at Malaca\u00f1ang\u2019s Eid al-Fitr celebration marking the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n\n

The President was also out of the public eye from June 12\u2014<\/p>\n

when he skipped Independence Day celebrations\u2014until June 16.\u00a0\u00a0 During the New Year\u2019s Eve break, he was also absent from the public for six consecutive days.<\/p>\n\n

\u2018The bulk of President Duterte\u2019s public appearances was during his foreign trips as well as visits to the military and police camps. In his first 100 days, Mr. Duterte had visited at least 27 military installations and police camps.<\/p>\n\n

He is also considered the country\u2019s most traveled President in his first year in office. He made a total of 21 trips abroad, including state visits, official visits, working visits and attendance in summits.<\/p>\n\n

He was the first Philippine President to visit all the Asean countries in his first year.<\/p>\n\n

The total distance covered by Mr. Duterte in his year\u2019s worth of foreign travels was 124,792 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n
