"Vice President Sara Duterte clarified that her recent remark about the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez was not a threat but
simply a hypothetical statement motivated by fears over her personal
security.
“I don’t think the volume was low during the Zoom press conference. I
said, ‘if I die.’ This means, in the first place, there is a threat
against me. But they simply do not care that I am also concerned about
my security because I hear things,” Duterte explained in a mix of
English and Tagalog on Sunday.
Duterte referenced a previous press conference, where she mentioned
exhuming the body of the late Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and throwing it into
the West Philippine Sea. She argued that simply discussing an idea in
public does not equate to acting on it."
