An official of the Department of Justice described as "bordering on sedition" the statements of former president Rodrigo Duterte - who called on the military to "rethink" their support for President Marcos - and his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte that she had contracted a hitman to take out Marcos.
In an interview Tuesday with "Storycon" on One News, DOJ Undersecretary and National Prosecution Service head Jesse Andres said the agency is conducting a thorough review of the video recording of the Dutertes, where they made their respective incendiary statements.
“We are studying closely the statements. But it is bordering on sedition because of the tirade against the President. His (alleged) inability to lead are all matters within the bounds of possible sedition,” Andres said.
Andres said it was not the first time that the former president alleged that Marcos had a drug habit.
He added that Sara’s “kill” threat against the President, First Lady Liza Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez if she gets killed indicates “revenge.”
