Metro Manila, Philippines – The anti-terrorism law is broad enough to merit an investigation of the strong remarks of the vice president against the president that could possibly result in destabilization, a justice official said on Thursday, Nov. 28.
In an interview with NewsWatch Plus, Justice Undersecretary Jesse Andres said “even a mere threat, proposal, or conspiracy” to commit acts of terrorism under the law, in light of the scheduled appearance of Vice President Sara Duterte before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).The NBI has summoned Duterte to appear on Friday, Nov. 29, for alleged grave threats and possible violation of the anti-terror law.
Duterte earlier said she ordered someone to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife Liza Araneta, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, if she herself gets murdered. She later claimed her statements were “taken out of logical context” as she was talking about “revenge from the grave.”
