"He spent about an hour and a half for the routine examination. He was declared to be in good health," Roque said.

The 73-year-old Duterte has admitted to be suffering from various ailments, including Barrett's esophagus, which impacts his throat, and Buerger’s disease, caused by heavy smoking in younger days.

Last month, Duterte said he threw up during flight from Seoul, South Korea due to migraine.
