The Vice President of the Philippines hired a hitman to assassinate President Marcos
Sarah Duterte-Carpio said that in the event of her death, the killer should kill the president of the Philippines, his wife and the speaker of parliament.
Philippine Vice President Sarah Duterte-Carpio has made a shocking statement announcing that she hired a hitman to assassinate President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., his wife Maria Luisa and Speaker of the House of Representatives Martin Romualdez in the event of her death.
"I told him, 'If I get killed, kill President Marcos, his wife and the speaker. Don't stop until you kill them all," Duterte-Carpio said.
The statement came amid tense relations between Duterte-Carpio and President Marcos. She had previously repeatedly accused him of incompetence, and in October publicly criticized him for ineffective management. This statement caused a public outcry and discussion in the ruling circles. Representatives of the president have not yet commented on the situation. The feud between the two key political figures increases tensions in the country's political life.
