Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr has said he would not take “troubling” threats against him lightly. His remarks on November 25, 2024, came just days after his estranged vice-president said she had asked someone to assassinate the president if she herself was killed. In a recorded video message, during which he did not name his former running mate Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio, Marcos said “such criminal plans should not be overlooked.” Over the weekend, security agency officials said they would step up their protocols and investigate the statement made by the vice-president during an online press conference on November 22.
