Sa pagtatanggol sa mungkahi ng Malacañang na "takeover" ng militar sa customs bureau, kinontra ni spokesperson Salvador Panelo ang naunang pahayag ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
The president explicitly said customs officials will be replaced by members of the military.
In his first press briefing as presidential spokesperson, Salvador Panelo claimed the Philippines never “withdrew, actually” from the International Criminal Court (ICC). This contradicts his statement in March when he said the country’s withdrawal from the ICC was already “in order, in fact.”
He also partly blamed the media.
Pinaghalu-halo ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo ang kanyang mga datos kaugnay ng inflation sa isang panayam sa telebisyon.

Chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo said last week President Rodrigo Duterte's popularity has been rising despite criticisms and exposés.
