President Rodrigo Duterte safely arrived in Tokyo for his third official visit in Japan on Tuesday night.

Duterte's plane touched down at Haneda International Airport at 8:52 p.m. (local time).
He was accompanied by 16 Cabinet members and some 200 delegation.


Philippine Ambassador to Tokyo Jose Laurel V earlier said that this could be a "reward" for Duterte's Cabinet officials after the favorable results of the midterm elections to the administration. Laurel, however, clarified that the trip was "not a junket."

Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said each Cabinet official in the delegation has trade missions to accomplish.

The President is set to spend time with Japanese businessmen on Wednesday and the Filipino community there on Thursday.

Duterte is scheduled to hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and will speak at the 25th International Conference on The Future of Asia on Friday.

Around P300 billion worth of business deals that would generate at least 80,000 jobs for Filipinos are expected to be inked at the sidelines of the President's official visit, according to Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez.

Duterte will stay in Japan until June 1, 2019. Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra was designated as the Officer-in-Charge of the executive department while the President is out of the country.

This previous two visits of Duterte in Japan were in October 2016 and October 2017. —Dona Magsino/LDF, GMA News

Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino | VP Leni Robredo | Sen. Antonio Trillanes  If the grand plan of the Yellows is to turn to the name of the Aquinos as a means to save the Liberal Party (LP) in a last ditch effort then it will surely backfire. This is the sentiment of social media influencer Krizette Laureta Chu when she detailed how the LP is on a losing end as more and more of its prominent members successively fail to rake in new supporters, contrary to what they hoped to achieve. With Vice President Leni Robredo as their Opposition Leader, Chu opines that the constant mocking of the Vice President’s competence (or lack thereof) has led to a “wakeup call” for the Yellow political party to find a different means (or different person) to bring into the scene. When the Yellow political party turned to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, he had resorted to creating a fuss about threats on his life by rounding up more security forces around him which, unfortunately, bac...

Ayon sa pahayag ni Robredo, sinabi nito na: "Hindi napapanahon ang diskusyon ukol sa pag-amyenda ng ating Saligang Batas, at lalo ang anumang mungkahing baguhin ang termino ng liderato at ipagpaliban ang eleksyon sa susunod na taon, dahil sa dami ng bumabagabag sa ating mga kaba...
