President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. vowed to fight back against threats, including alleged kill remarks made against him.
The President's statement came after Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio reportedly disclosed ordering her security personnel to kill the Philippine leader if she was killed.
Malacañang initially tagged Duterte's previous remarks as an "active threat."
However, Duterte backtracked, stating her remark was "a plan without flesh" and "a farce, imagined, or nothing at all."
She argued that a "supposed conditional act of revenge does not constitute to an active threat" and criticized the use of the word "assassin."
Duterte accused Marcos and "his sycophants" of aggressively pushing a narrative taken out of logical context.
The National Bureau of Investigation is set to issue a subpoena to the Vice President to explain her side as it investigates the supposed murder plot.
