Nov 27, 2024

Manila [Philippines], November 27: Philippine investigators on Tuesday summoned Vice President Sara Duterte to answer questions about her public threat to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr assassinated if she herself were killed.
The National Bureau of Investigation served the subpoena at Duterte's office, and asked that she appear before the bureau's director on Friday.
The subpoena said Duterte was being summoned "to shed light on the investigation for alleged grave threats under [the Cybercrime Prevent Act] and possible violation of [the Anti-Terorrism Act]." Duterte on Saturday said she has already spoken with someone who has agreed to kill Marcos, the first lady, and the speaker of House of Representatives, who is the president's cousin, if she were to get murdered. The NBI said it has also started a manhunt for the possible assassins that the vice president has hired, the Department of Justice said in a statement. (DPA)
