In a video address, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. stated, "If it is so easy to threaten the life of a president, how much more for ordinary citizens? Such criminal intent should never be tolerated." These remarks highlight the alarming nature of threats not just to political leaders, but to the general population, calling for vigilance against such behaviors. He emphasized that he would not "take this sitting down," showcasing his determination to address these threats comprehensively.
The vice president, Ms. Duterte, faced backlash after suggesting she would arrange for Mr. Marcos and others to be murdered if she were killed. She claimed her comments were taken out of context, prompting the Department of Justice to announce a subpoena against her. Jesse Andres, the under secretary for Justice, stated, "The premeditated plot to assassinate the president as declared by the self-confessed mastermind will now face legal consequences," indicating the seriousness of the situation.
