When asked what they discussed during the phone call, Puyat told ABS-CBN News that Duterte was actually asking her about updates on Boracay.

"He was following up on my meeting with the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) regarding the carrying capacity of Boracay. He just wants to ensure that his directive was followed," she said.
