Philippines’ Sara Duterte claims hiring assassin to kill Marcos Jnr if she’s targeted
The ‘active threat’ has been referred to the Presidential Security Command for ‘immediate proper action’ following her warning
In an online press conference on Friday midnight, Duterte-Carpio said she has hired “someone” to eliminate the trio should she get killed and her warning was “no joke”.
It was a show of support for her chief of staff Zuleika Lopez, who had been detained at the House of Representatives building since Wednesday after a committee cited the official for contempt.
“Don’t worry about your security because I have already spoken to someone about it,” Duterte-Carpio said of her plan.
“I told [this person], if I am killed, kill BBM (President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jnr), Liza Araneta (his wife Marie Louise) and Martin Romualdez (the House Speaker).”
“No joke. No joke. I have already made a deal. When I die, I told [that person] do not stop until you kill them all. And then he said yes,” Duterte-Carpio said, without revealing the assassin’s identity.
