(But just the same, since she is the vice president, we are accepting that threats are inherent in her position and we are ready to provide security to her and any other government officials if requested.)
In an online press conference last November 23, Duterte revealed the alleged threat against her life.
She also said she asked someone to kill Marcos, his wife, and the House Speaker in case she ended up dead.
Duterte, along with the head of her security group, Col. Raymund Lachica, is currently facing charges of direct assault, disobedience to the persons in authority, and grave coercion before the Department of Justice.
Quezon City Police District Medical and Dental Unit chief Lt. Col. Jason Villamor stood as the complainant.
His complaints stemmed from an incident during the transfer of Office of the Vice President (OVP) chief of staff Zuleika Lopez from the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) to the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City on November 23.
Lopez was rushed to VMMC for health issues due to a panic attack.
PNP disclosed that video evidence showed Lachica physically assaulting Villamor during the transfer.
Prior to this, Lopez was detained at the House premises after the committee on good government and public accountability cited her for contempt last November 20.
She was penalized by lawmakers for allegedly committing undue interference in the panel’s hearing.
