MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday he might have cancer and added that "I don't know where I'm now physically" as he awaited the result of recent medical tests.

Duterte said in a speech in Manila that he underwent an endoscopy and colonoscopy about three weeks ago but his doctor was advised this week to repeat the tests. Both tests aim to diagnose any abnormality in the digestive tract and colon.

"I don't know where I'm now physically but I have to wait for that. But I would tell you if it's cancer, it's cancer," the 73-year-old Duterte said to a Philippine Military Academy alumni group and top security officials.

Duterte added that "if it's third stage, no more treatment. I will not prolong the agony in this office or anywhere."

Rumors have swirled for some time that Duterte, known for his deadly crackdown on illegal drugs, might have a serious illness. Duterte and his aides, however, repeatedly said he was generally fit although he had grown tired of politics after serving for about 40 years in different government posts.

"I really don't want it because I'm tired and I know that time's up for me," Duterte said, adding that physical limitations usually come at around age 70.

"I can't say now if I really got hit or not," he said, noting that he has other illnesses such as Barrett's esophagus, a condition thought to be caused by stomach acid washing up into the esophagus.

He has said in the past that he has sustained other ailments as a result Piof a motorcycle accident and drinking. "I did not stop drinking but no more, regret is like that. It always comes late. So it got worse," he said.

Presidential spokesman Harry Roque told reporters earlier Thursday that Duterte is fine but will inform the public if he has a serious ailment as required by the constitution. "The president is a lawyer. He will inform and conform with the constitution if there's a serious health ailment, but there is none," Roque said.

Roque posted on his Facebook account a video of Duterte arriving Thursday for a conference at the presidential palace with top military and police officials to show that the president was at work.

Roque and another key presidential aide, Christopher Go, made the assurance after rumors circulated that Duterte missed a ceremony Wednesday because he was hospitalized.

Go denied the rumors and said Duterte skipped the event because he was tired from a provincial trip the day before and opted to go to a private meeting and have some personal time.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte does not have cancer, the Acting Interior Minister has said, but he refused to reveal the reason the firebrand leader had tests in a private hospital.

Key points:
Duterte's biopsy was negative for cancer, says spokesman
Spokesman backs away from earlier calls for President to reveal health issues
Public want answers on nature of tests and any potential illness
The public has been clamouring for information about Mr Duterte's health after the 73-year-old missed two official events last week.

"He disclosed to us that the result of the test was negative, the one where they took samples from his intestines," Eduardo Ano told reporters in an event posted on Facebook Live by domestic news agencies.

Mr Ano said Mr Duterte made the disclosure during a Cabinet meeting on Monday night.

The President made an unscheduled visit to a hospital where doctors asked him to repeat digestive tract tests three weeks after similar tests.

Mr Duterte's condition "is not serious" and will remain a confidential matter, his spokesman Harry Roque told a separate news briefing, declining either to confirm or deny the prior remarks of the Acting Interior Minister.

"The President will abide by the constitution, but because it is not serious, he will treat his medical condition as confidential," he said.

Mr Roque declined to give details of the test results and Mr Duterte's health.

"Let us wait for his disclosure. Anything that is confidential can be waived by the person alone," he said.

This was in contrast to comments last week by Mr Roque when he said that he planned to ask Mr Duterte to issue a statement on his health to end the uncertainty.

"I will tell, perhaps, we need to issue a medical bulletin, whether or not it's serious. Perhaps we would need to bring in your physician because it's the only way to stop all talk about your health," Mr Roque said.

Mr Duterte said in a speech on Thursday that he had an endoscopy and colonoscopy about three weeks ago, but his doctor was advised to repeat the tests with tissue samples, which may show whether he has cancer. The tests aim to diagnose any abnormality in the digestive tract and colon.

"I don't know where I'm now physically but I have to wait for that. But I would tell you if it's cancer, it's cancer," he told a military gathering.

He added that "if it's third stage, no more treatment. I will not prolong the agony in this office or anywhere".

The Philippines constitution provides for the public to be told of the state of health of an incumbent president, if serious.

If the leader dies in office, is permanently disabled or removed through impeachment, the vice president succeeds to serve out the rest of a six-year, single term.

Vice President Leni Robredo, an opposition leader, was elected separately in 2016 and could fuel uncertainty in the succession process in a highly polarised political climate.

Mr Duterte's health was a constant source of speculation after he disappeared from public view for a week last year, but his aides dismissed rumours about his medical condition.

Over the weekend, Mr Duterte was in Hong Kong with his partner and young daughter on an unannounced trip, with his special assistant, Bong Go, posting pictures of the family on social media.

I do not see the problem-there is one country nearby where the PM has had 2 cancers, collapse while giving a speech, was labelled as a dishonourable son and still earning the highest salary (for a politician) in the world
