In a stunning revelation that has the nation on edge, Vice President Sara Duterte has made a chilling public statement suggesting that she had hired an assassin to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. if an alleged plot against her were to succeed. The admission, made in clear and certain terms, has sent shockwaves through the political world, leaving many wondering about the motives behind such a bold claim.

The Executive Secretary, recognizing the gravity of the situation, quickly took action by referring the matter to the Presidential Security Command (PSC). Given the serious nature of the threat to the life of the President, the PSC has been tasked with ensuring the safety of both President Marcos and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos.

Any threat against the life of a sitting president is, of course, a matter of national concern. But when such a threat is made publicly—and in such an unequivocal manner—it takes the stakes to a whole new level.

The question on everyone's mind: how did things escalate to this point? Is this merely a case of political rhetoric gone too far, or is there something more sinister lurking beneath the surface? Regardless of the answers, one thing is certain: this is no small matter.

The public’s trust in the safety of their leaders is hanging in the balance. The Presidential Security Command’s swift and decisive action will be critical in determining whether this threat is real and, if so, how to neutralize it. The country is now watching closely, as this unprecedented situation unfolds.
