Duterte, Marcos at odds; VP faces NBI probe

Vice President Sara Duterte stated on Wednesday that she and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. have reached a 'point of no return,' making reconciliation unlikely.

Despite this, Marcos told reporters he is not closing the door to a possible reconciliation with Duterte, responding with his trademark phrase, 'never say never.'

Duterte expressed concerns during a press conference in Zamboanga City that the Marcos administration is 'going after her' and wants to remove her from her position.

The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability has launched an investigation into the alleged questionable budget use of Duterte's Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, which she had led.

Recently, Duterte admitted instructing someone to kill Marcos, his wife Liza Araneta-Marcos, and cousin Speaker Martin Romualdez if she were killed, prompting Malacañang to tighten security around Marcos.

The National Bureau of Investigation issued a subpoena to Vice President Duterte over her threatening remarks against the president, his wife, and House Speaker Romualdez.
