President Rodrigo Duterte missed the traditional Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders' photo shoot on Sunday in Lima, Peru.

Duterte also chose to skip the APEC gala dinner on Saturday night.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay (4th from left, back row) represented Duterte in both events.

Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said on Saturday that Duterte wasn't feeling well ("masama pakiramdam") when asked why the president skipped the gala dinner.
