The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reviewing former President Duterte’s recent statements, which could be seen as bordering on sedition. He questioned the military’s support for President Marcos and suggested his daughter had hired a hitman against the president. DOJ Undersecretary Jesse Andres called the remarks a potential violation of the law, emphasizing that protected speech has limits, especially when it involves clear and present danger. The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is also probing the Vice President’s claims of a death threat. Duterte’s comments have exacerbated tensions between the Marcos and Duterte families.
