Dark patches on his face? Duterte blames campaign RUTH ABBEY GITA August 30, 2018
PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte assured Thursday, August 30 that the discoloration of his face does not indicate that he is suffering from a serious health problem.
He said the dark patches on his face were caused by the multiple campaigns he had to wage in his 23-year political career.
"Maski nung election, hindi ako naglalagay ng (any facial cream)," the 73-year-old President said during the 49th Charter Day Celebration of Mandaue City in Cebu.
"There are so many elections in my life (kaya ang mukha ko), sunog (that's why my face was burnt)," he explained.

Woman who asked President to stop quarrying in Cebu missing By: Ador Vincent S. Mayol, Morexette Erram, Zena Magto - @inquirerdotnet Inquirer Visayas / 12:00 AM September 30, 2018
NAGA CITY, Cebu — Where is Sheila?
Sheila Eballe, the outspoken woman who personally appealed to President Rodrigo Duterte to stop the quarry operations in Naga City in Cebu following the massive landslide last Sept. 21, has not returned either to the evacuation center for landslide victims or to her home for days now.
Neighbors and friends of Eballe, a 36-year-old resident of Sitio Greyrocks, Barangay Tinaan in Naga City, said they had no idea where woman was now.
Her stepfather, Emilio Librea, said Eballe had not returned to their home since she spoke to the President.
Librea said he last communicated with Eballe through the phone shortly after the latter appeared on television while talking to the President.
“We have not seen her since then. She could also not be reached for comment anymore,” he told the Inquirer. “We are worried because what she did in complaining to the President was very risky.”
A neighbor of Aballe, who requested anonymity, said they were afraid of what might have happened to the 36-year-old woman.
“We’re worried,” she said.
A report published by UCANews, an independent Catholic news organization in Asia, said Eballe sought the help of environmental group Pusyon Kinaiyahan and a religious organization after reportedly receiving threats for voicing her concerns to the President.
“She needs protection because of threats she is facing for speaking the truth,” Augustinian Recollect Brother Takoy Jakosalem said, according to the report.
In a speech at the Enan Chiong Activity Center last Sept. 21, the President asked the evacuees inside the place if they had any complaint.
Eballe, in a white blouse, bravely went onstage, faced the President, and told him that she and her neighbors at Barangay Tinaan would want to put a stop to the quarry operations that they blamed for the massive landslide.
“Stop the Apo Cement quarry. That’s what I’m asking. We don’t need food. What we need is for the quarry to stop because I believe if the people would just work, we’d still manage to eat,” she said.
With the President looking at her intently, Eballe continued and said she did not think heavy rains had triggered the landslide.
She said they’ve been through a lot of typhoons but no tragedy had struck until the quarry operations started.
Before she finished speaking, the President said: “I believe what you say. But look at your nails. I guess you were at the beauty parlor when the landslide happened.”
When Aballe left the stage, the President went on to say: “Maayong pagka-training ni sa kuan… [She’s well trained by the…].”
He then asked the crowd: “Are there any New People’s Army [communist rebels] here?”
Make sure that no one is supporting the NPA, he said, as he went on to rant against the Communist Party of the Philippines.
Many evacuees expressed disappointment at the President’s response.
“It wasn’t even close. He didn’t answer the question,” said Maritess Panilag, one of the evacuees.
She said Eballe was right in saying that the quarry operations of Apo Land and Quarry Corp. in Naga City caused the landslide.
“We’ve been living in the place for many years. We don’t feel safe with that quarry around,”
As of Saturday, 72 were dug out from the landslide site while 11 persons were still missing.
Apo Land has repeatedly denied causing the landslide.
Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu has ordered the suspension of Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) officials in Central Visayas and suspended quarry operations in the mountains around Naga City and several other provinces for 15 days to determine if they pose any danger. /atm
Woman who told Duterte to stop quarrying in Cebu town in hiding, not missing – police By CNN Philippines Staff
Updated 12:27 PM PHT Mon, October 1, 2018
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, October 1) — The woman who appealed to President Rodrigo Duterte to stop quarrying operations in the wake of a deadly landslide in a Cebu town is not missing but is hiding for her safety, the police said on Monday.
C/Insp. Roderick Gonzales, Naga, Cebu chief of police, informed City of Naga Mayor Kristine Chiong that Shiela Eballe, who was earlier reported missing by a news website, is in hiding after supposedly receiving threats following her public dialogue with Duterte.
Gonzales said Eballe has been communicating with her brother.
On September 21, while Duterte was delivering a speech to the family of those who perished in the landslide, Eballe asked the President if he would shut down the quarry.
She blamed the quarry for the landslide because of the damaged soil.
Duterte joked that the woman had "training" in talking at similar functions. He then proceeded to ask the crowd if there were any New People's Army member among them, and then went on to hit Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison.
Seventy-two people have died from the landslide in Naga on September 20.
