Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. responded to a shocking statement made by Vice President Sara Duterte, who allegedly instructed an assassin to kill him and his wife in the event of her death. Marcos addressed the nation in a video message, urging against such criminal plans and vowing to combat these threats.
MANILA, the Philippines — Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr . vowed Monday to fight back against what he called reckless and troubling threats against him, speaking out after his estranged vice president said he would be assassinated if she herself were killed. In a strongly worded video message addressing the nation, Marcos did not name Vice President Sara Duterte , his presidential running mate, but said “such criminal plans should not be overlooked.
She quit her cabinet post in June and has battled legislative scrutiny of her spending while in office, at times responding with open hostility to lawmakers and failing to show up for some proceedings. Her threat to have Marcos killed stemmed from an order by lawmakers to transfer her chief of staff to a jail for allegedly impeding its inquiry into the vice president’s alleged misuse of public funds, accusations she denies.
