Mayor’s group decries Sara’s kill threat vs PBBM, House speaker
The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) has condemned Vice President Sara Duterte's recent public statements, calling them an "outburst" that endangers national peace and security.
In a statement, the LCP, led by its national president Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and national chairman Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez, asserted that such actions threaten the stability of the Marcos administration.
The LCP found Duterte's alleged suggestions of harm to herself and her retaliatory instructions against President Marcos Jr., the First Lady, and the Speaker of the House to be irresponsible and a grave threat to democracy.
Vice President Duterte had accused House Speaker Martin Romualdez of plotting to assassinate her and stated that she had arranged for retaliation against the President, First Lady, and Romualdez should she be harmed.
