Marcos says he's taking all threats very seriously

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said that he has taken all kinds of threats very seriously. 

In an interview with India's Firstpost, Marcos was asked if Vice President Sara Duterte is capable of hatching an assassination plot against him. The Philippine leader said he is not in a position to say if Duterte is really capable of doing it. 

''I don't know, you know... I am really not in a position to say what that's about,'' Marcos said. 

''But you have to be careful... but then you know in my position, there always is some kind of threat and we take them all very seriously,'' he added. 

To recall, Duterte's ''assassination'' statement against Marcos, First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos and Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez was made during a virtual press conference in November last year, wherein she slammed the House of Representatives' order to transfer Atty. Zuleika Lopez, her then chief of staff, from the House detention facility to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City.

Her remarks were immediately referred to the Presidential Security Command (PSC) for proper action.

In response, Duterte clarified that her statement was not a threat, saying that she only highlighted the alleged threat to her security.

In February, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed sedition and grave threat complaint against Duterte over the alleged kill order. 

To recall, one of the seven Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President included the conspiracy to assassinate Marcos. the First Lady, and the Speaker.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
