VP Duterte: Romualdez is the only person who wants to kill me
Vice President Sara Duterte claimed on Friday that Speaker Martin Romualdez is the only person who wants to kill her.
Duterte made this statement during an online press conference while her chief of staff, Undersecretary Zuleika Lopez, was in the custody of the House Sergeant-at-Arms.
The Vice President refused to leave the House of Representatives compound, stating she was not a security threat and that Romualdez was her sole security concern.
She believes Romualdez intends to have her killed, suggesting he would do so outside the House premises rather than within.
Romualdez has yet to respond to Duterte's accusations.
