“This is a reply to the statement issued by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) on order of Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin dated November 23, 2024.
The Marcos administration’s insistence that the President’s life is under active threat is ominous.
I raise this caution as the President and his sycophants aggressively sell a narrative based entirely on my statement, which is taken out of its logical context.

There is absolutely no flesh on the bone, and despite the absence of a reliable investigation, authorities were quick to consider this a national security concern.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff of VP Sara Duterte, Atty. Zuleika Lopez, would have to remain in detention a little bit longer. This was after the House Panel investigating matters related to the Office of the Vice President announced it is extending Lopez’s detention to five more days. Earlier, Rep. France Castro of the ACT Teachers party-list, moved to extend Lopez’s detention for allegedly making false statements. VP Sara is questioning the said order, saying it is illegal.
