MANILA, Philippines – Is there a government’s inaction on the threat to the life of Vice President Sara Duterte and personnel of the Office of the Vice President?

National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Jaime Santiago said the threat to the President was immediately classified as a threat to national security because it was the Vice President herself who issued it.

“Yung nagte-threat sa kanya, hindi natin alam kung sino. Hindi nya sinasabi. Diyan natin kailangan ang cooperation ni Vice President. Sabihin nya sa amin kung sinu-sino yung mga tao, kung meron syang ebidensya na nagte-threat sa kanya, iimbestigahan po namin yun,” Santiago said.

(We don’t know who’s threatening her. She’s not telling us. That’s why we need the vice president to cooperate. She needs to tell us who she thinks is doing it and if she has any proof. We’ll look into it.)

Santiago pointed out that it is the NBI’s mandate to investigate the threats to the President, Vice President, even to the Chief Justice.
