Philippine investigators file criminal complaints against vice president over assassination threats

The National Bureau of Investigation has recommended filing criminal charges against Vice President Sara Duterte for allegedly threatening to have President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Assassinated.
Duterte's comments in November suggested she ordered someone to kill Marcos and his family if any plot against her succeeded.
The Philippine lower house impeached Duterte last week over the assassination threats and charges of constitutional violations and corruption.
Duterte stated that her comments were a conditional act of revenge and not an active threat, while Marcos promised to act against the public threat made by his vice president.
