The Duterte administration remains to be ridiculed with irregularity issues and conspiracy theories. It seems that foreign perception continues to be a blur.

Below is Department of Transportation Secretary Art Tugade's statement on claims of outgoing US ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg about his “unpublicized China trip” in June 2016.

Transportation Secretary Arthur P. Tugade denied claims of outgoing US ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg about his “unpublicized China trip” in June 2016.

“If it is true that Ambassador Goldberg said that, then the fabled American “intelligence network” has miserably failed again. Tsismis yan! Was never in Beijing in June! You can always examine my passport anytime.” He said.

Speaking to ANC's Headstart, Goldberg mentioned that he is aware that Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano and Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade made a trip to China last June even before President Rodrigo Duterte's recent state visit to Beijing, which later on led to the increase of China’s investment and loan pledges to the Philippines.
