President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday broke his silence and fired back at Vice President Sara Duterte’s “death threat,” noting that the issue just blew out of proportion due to the latter’s refusal to answer legitimate questions about her office’s alleged misuse of funds.

Hindi na sana hahantong sa ganitong drama kung sasagutin lang sana ang mga lehitimong katanungan sa Senado at House of Representatives. Ang katotohanan ay hindi dapat i-tokhang,” Marcos said.

President says in a recorded national address that ‘criminal plans’ against him, first lady should not be overlooked.
