(Eagle News) –President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter Kitty and his two grandchildren with son Paolo have been administered the controversial Dengvaxia vaccine.

This was confirmed by Special Assistant to the President Bong Go on Tuesday, May 21.

“May nagtanong kanina kung na-inject raw ba si Kitty at ‘yung dalawang anak ni Paolo, kinonfirm naman po ng mga nanay nila na positive po na-inject po sila,” Go said.

Kitty’s mother is Honeylet Avancena, the President’s current partner.

Earlier, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the President would tap the expertise of a three-man foreign panel following the conflicting findings between the University of the Philippines probe and the Public Attorneys Office probe.

The PAO had said the deaths of several children were linked to Dengvaxia, but UP said this was not conclusive.
