Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro received information that she has a death threat.
Baricuatro said police officials in the Province of Cebu confirmed of the death threat, based on intelligence report.
The governor said that the number of police officials that met her at the airport evening on February 5, 2026, upon her return to Cebu from China, surprised her.
Baricuatro cut short her official trip in Fujian Province, China to attend to her duties, as a brewing weather disturbance was forecast to hit southern Cebu on February 6, 2026.
The police officials told her that individuals are hired to gun her down.
The governor did not provide details as to the persons she suspected to be behind the death threat. However, she said, the threat has not dampened her eagerness to serve the province further.
