BBM, Alyansa urge stop to muckraking
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. playfully checked on his senatorial candidates during a rally, assuring the public they were safe from grenade attacks, an apparent jab at former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte had reportedly threatened to kill senators and alluded to doing so with an explosion.
Marcos contrasted his campaign's approach, promising no threats or curses would be heard from him or his allies, and that none of his candidates use fear, intimidation, and black propaganda.
The President emphasized that the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas rally in Pasay City was a venue for positive campaign messages.
Despite allies claiming Duterte was joking, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group has filed a complaint against him before the Department of Justice.
