VP Sara’s assassin claim 'direct threat to democracy': Speaker
House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez denounced Vice President Sara Duterte's recent statements, describing them as a direct threat to democracy, national security, and the government.
Romualdez stated that the Vice President's admission of contacting a hitman to assassinate him, President Marcos Jr., and the First Lady if she were to be killed is a dangerous and reckless remark.
He emphasized that such statements from a high-ranking official are not a joke and have no place in society, undermining the rule of law and the sanctity of life.
The Speaker asserted that Duterte's comments send a chilling message and constitute an attack on the foundations of the Philippine government and its people.
Romualdez's remarks were made during a session of the House of Representatives on Monday.
