Authorities in the Philippines have issued a subpoena to Vice President Sara Duterte following her public remarks about potential threats to her life. Duterte had made statements suggesting that if she were to be killed in an unspecified plot, she would have the president, his wife, and the House of Representatives speaker assassinated.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has labeled Duterte's comments as a criminal plot and has vowed to uphold the rule of law in response. The national police and military have heightened security measures for Marcos in light of the situation, with National Security Adviser Eduardo Ano deeming the threats a national security concern.
