MANILA, Philippines — Presidential spokesperson Secretary Ernesto Abella assured the public that recent rumors of death threats cannot stop the president from doing
his regular rounds in the country and even from his trips abroad.
This comes after an arrested gun smuggler admitted that one of his customers allegedly ordered lower end parts of firearms to be used in the assassination of President Rodrigo Duterte.
“Well, if I put it with the president, he seems to be pretty much untouched by all these threats. [He’s] concerned but not worried,” said Abella.
The official added that the president has his ways of protecting himself and his family especially considering that the level of security threats he is facing is greater compared to the time when he was Davao City mayor.
Threats are not uncommon to the president especially when he has waged war against corruption, illegal drugs and criminality.
“Well, you know, like if you listen to the President, he eats it [death threats] for breakfast. Meaning to say, it’s not something new to him,” assured Abella.
