But a preview of the forthcoming episode on the CBS website said the character played by Leoni is shocked when "the Philippines unconventional new president makes a pass at her".
In a letter to CBS, the embassy complained of a "highly negative portrayal" it said "tarnishes the Philippines` longstanding advocacy for women`s rights and gender equality".
MANILA The Philippines embassy in Washington has chided broadcaster CBS Corp and demanded "corrective actions" against what it said was a trailer of drama "Madam Secretary" that featured a Philippine president making inappropriate advances on a minister.
Reuters could not immediately verify if the clip originated from CBS and did not receive any immediate response to a telephone call and email to CBS for comment.
Duterte`s spokesman, Ernesto Abella, said that if CBS wanted to make such a portrayal of a president, it could have looked closer to home.
