Authorities to fine-tune IEC security

The Department of Justice is now investigating the “kill” remark of Vice President Sara Duterte against President Marcos, Malacañang said yesterday.

Undersecretary Zuleika Lopez will step down as Vice President Sara Duterte’s chief of staff after the House of Representatives concludes its hearings on the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President, citing the emotional strain of the process.

While Vice President Sara Duterte’s “reckless and dangerous” remarks – along with her “active threats” – against President Marcos may not yet constitute a constitutional crisis, they could still have serious repercussions, Senate President Pro-Tempore Jinggoy Estrada said yesterday.

Despite the threatening remarks of Vice President Sara Duterte, President Marcos proceeded with his schedule yesterday as he and First Lady Liza Marcos led the recognition ceremony at Malacañang for award-winning Filipino chorale groups.

Sen. Imee Marcos yesterday visited Vice President Sara Duterte’s chief of staff who is confined in a state-owned hospital.
