If an alleged plot to assassinate her was powerful, Duterte claimed in a press conference on Saturday that she had given instructions to someone to remove Marcos, his family Liza Araneta-Marcos, and his aunt Martin Romualdez.
” If I die, do n’t stop until you have killed them”, she claimed to have said, later denying her remarks constituted a death threat.
Soon after House of Representatives officials threatened to move her chief of staff from the lower panel’s detention center to a correctional facility, her remarks about the plot for Saturday came out.
Zuleika Lopez has been in contempt of court since Nov. 20 when she was cited for supposedly interfering with a Duterte financial investigation.
The Marcos-Duterte empire that swept to power in 2022 has collapsed brilliantly in the lead-up to next month’s mid-term votes.
If Duterte, the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, not be able to complete his six-year expression, he will be re-elected as his legal successor.
However, she is currently the subject of a police inquiry into her reported misuse of millions of dollars by the Romualdez-led House of Representatives.
In 2028, Romualdez and Duterte are expected to run for president.
