Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial comment about “killing 15 senators” at a rally has ignited political controversy ahead of the May 2025 midterm elections. Duterte, supporting his PDP-Laban candidates, joked that removing the sitting senators could clear the path for his slate’s victory. The remark, made in reference to opposition senators, also hinted at the ongoing political troubles surrounding Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio. The Philippines is set to hold elections for 12 of its 24 Senate seats, with potential vacancies affecting the race. While Duterte’s candidates struggle in opinion polls, only two stand a realistic chance of winning.
