In a dramatic sign of a widening rift between the two most powerful political families in the Southeast Asian nation, Duterte told an early morning press conference that she had spoken to an assassin and instructed him to kill Marcos, his wife and the speaker of the Philippine House if she were to be killed.
“I have talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, go kill BBM (Marcos), (first lady) Liza Araneta, and (Speaker) Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke,” Duterte said in the profanity-laden briefing. “I said, do not stop until you kill them, and then he said yes.”
She was responding to an online commenter urging her to stay safe, saying she was in enemy territory as she was at the lower chamber of Congress overnight with her chief of staff. Duterte did not cite any alleged threat against herself.
The Marcos family are just as bad. How many people did they have killed while his parents and their cronies were in power.
And no, I’m not defending Duterte. They are both evil shits
Yeah, I get that. Watching the drama from the sidelines would have been entertaining if it weren’t for the effects such an infighting would result.
But hey, the voters wanted that shit. Let the popcorn flow!
