The National Bureau of Investigation said Monday that they did not receive any information about the supposed threats against Vice President Sara Duterte.
”Hindi kami nakakatanggap ng threat sa life of the Vice President,” NBI director Jaime Santiago said during a Palace press briefing.
[We have not received any information on the threat against the life of the Vice President.]
Duterte made an assassination statement against President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr., First Lady Louise ”Liza” Araneta-Marcos, and Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez as she slammed the House of Representatives’ order to transfer Atty. Zuleika Lopez, her chief of staff, from the House detention facility to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City.
Lopez was ordered detained at the lower chamber after she was cited in contempt for her supposed “undue interference” in the House’s investigation into the confidential funds of offices held by Duterte.
Duterte said she has already spoken to someone to kill the First Couple and Romualdez if she was to be slain, saying that there were actual threats to her life as well.
She later clarified that her statement was “not a threat,” adding that she only wanted to highlight the alleged threat to her security.
“Hindi naman yata mahina ‘yung volume noong Zoom press conference. Sinabi ko, ‘Kung mamatay ako.’ Ibig sabihin in the first place, meron nang threat sa akin (I don’t think the volume was low during the Zoom press conference. I said, ‘If I die.’ That means in the first place, there was a threat against me). But they simply do not care that I am also concerned about my security because I hear things,” Duterte said in a ”24 Oras Weekend” report by Jonathan Andal. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
