Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr tweets about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe following reports of Abe's impending resignation over health problems. 'I hope he gets well. Japan's greatest post-war PM,' Locsin said in a separate tweet.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is to resign over health problems, local media reported Friday, August 28, in a bombshell development that will end a record-setting tenure with no clear successor yet in place.

Rumors about Abe's possible resignation had intensified after two recent surprise hospital visits for unspecified medical checks, but in recent days, senior government officials had suggested he would serve out the rest of remaining year in office. The resignation, if confirmed, will come despite the insistence of government spokesman Yoshihide Suga on Friday morning that Abe remained in good health.

The prime minister has also seen his signature"Abenomics" economic policy come under increasing strain, with the country already slumping into recession even before the coronavirus crisis hit.
