Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte made headlines on Saturday with her shocking statement that she would have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. assassinated if she herself were killed. This declaration has sparked a strong response from Marcos' office, which has promised 'immediate proper action' in light of the threat.
During a press conference, Duterte revealed that she had spoken to an assassin and instructed him to target Marcos, his wife, and the Speaker of the Philippine House in the event of her own demise. She emphasized the seriousness of her directive, stating, 'I said, do not stop until you kill them.' This alarming revelation comes amidst a growing rift between the Duterte and Marcos political families in the Southeast Asian nation.
