Walang limit na &#x27;yan kung mayroon pang tao,&quot; he added. (But I will be up all night. There will be no limit if there are still people.)He said he often had a pile of documents in his office. &quot;Tapos sasabihin n&#x27;yo hindi nagtatrabaho?&quot; he said. (And you&#x27;ll say I don&#x27;t work?)Duterte earlier this month also said he was a &quot;<a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/18/20/i-am-a-night-person-duterte-accuses-robredo-of-lying-about-his-whereabouts" target="_blank">night person</a>&quot; after the hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo (Where is the President) trended, while he met fellow Southeast Asian leaders virtually, as typhoon Ulysses swamped parts of Luzon.

President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday that his day typically "starts at 2 o'clock in the afternoon" because he is a "night person."
