In a statement, its foreign ministry said President Rodrigo Duterte would not attend Saturday's ASEAN leaders' meeting because of a COVID-19 crisis at home, but would be represented by foreign secretary Teodoro Locsin. The Philippines strongly backs the meeting "even without the full attendance of all ASEAN leaders," it said.
