•Sara Duterte: Philippines' political feud takes a dramatic turn
59% Informative
Vice-president Sara Duterte said she has hired assassins to kill the president.
She also threatened to dig up the body of the president’s father from the Heroes’ Cemetery in Manila and dump the ashes in the sea.
The Philippines National Bureau of Investigation has summoned the vice-president to explain her threats.
She has now walked back, denying the plan without flesh.
Sara Duterte could be removed through impeachment by the Senate , but that would be a risky move for President Marcos .
She enjoys strong popular support in the south, and among millions of overseas Filipino workers.
Mid-term elections are due in May next year , in which the entire lower house and half of the 24 senatorial seats will be contested.
