PNP: NO CREDIBLE THREAT AGAINST VP SARA

By Liezelle Soriano

MANILA — Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo stated that there is no credible threat against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio’s life.

“Sa ngayon po, ang PNP, walang information as to the credible threat against the vice president,” Fajardo said in a radio interview on Monday, December 2, 2024.

“Wala po tayong kopya nung sinasabi niyang documented threat,” she added.

This statement follows Duterte-Carpio’s controversial remarks threatening President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the First Lady, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, claiming she had ordered someone to kill them if she were to be assassinated.

Fajardo further noted that threats are “inherent” to the position of the Vice President.

“Since siya po ay ating bise presidente, tinatanggap po natin na ang threat ay inherent sa kanyang position, and we are ready to provide security to her and any other government officials if requested,” she said.
