Summary
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte publicly threatened to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the House Speaker assassinated if she were killed, escalating tensions between the two leaders.
Duterte accused Marcos and his allies of corruption, incompetence, and persecuting her staff, sparking the tirade.
The Presidential Security Command deemed the threat a national security issue and boosted Marcos’ protection.
This marks a severe fallout in their alliance after their 2022 election victory, amid broader political divisions and Duterte’s growing criticism of the administration.
Isn’t accusing Marcos of corruption sort of like accusing the Pope of being Catholic?
I mean - he’s a Marcos. Corruption is all he knows.
And really, specifically what she did was threatened to have those people killed if they had her killed.
That seems to me to be a reasonable precaution, all things considered.
It’s a Duterte vs a Marcos. It’s pot and kettle.
I"m so ready to post memes here with Sarah but there is no Filipino community yet.
Edit: Found the biggest on .world but there are not many people on it
Do it anyway. People will be confused at first, but will learn lol
<let them fight>
I don’t love it. Like… Yikes.
But it’s not my country so whatchgonnado, you know?
Would you say the same things if it was the far right?

Why would you think ideology is even relevant?
Much though the world would be instantly improved if that vile, racist piece of shit Pauline Hanson was dead, she’s under no real threat of being murdered by her political opponents - that’s just not the way that Australians do things.
And she knows that.
