Sara Duterte says gov't ignoring 'threats' to her life
Vice President Sara Duterte expressed frustration over the government's perceived inaction regarding threats against her life.
She questioned why threats against the President are considered national security concerns while similar threats against her are seemingly ignored.
Duterte stated that she had previously filed a documented complaint about the threats, complete with evidence, but these were dismissed.
She recalled an alleged attempt to attack her in June, which she described as a "scar" on her neck, though she did not identify the perpetrators.
This comes as the National Security Council announced it is coordinating to investigate threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., without mentioning Duterte.
Duterte had previously alleged that she hired an assassin to target President Marcos, the First Lady, and the Speaker of the House if she were to be killed.
