An anonymous aide said Ramos has done his job. Meanwhile, Ramos was quoted by GMA News Online as saying his China role was only to "break the ice".
President Duterte appointed Ramos as special envoy to China to help repair ties soured by an international arbitration case in a maritime territorial dispute which went in Manila's favour in July, sparking outrage in Beijing.
Ramos led the Philippines from 1992-1998 and have been widely respected by the people.
