Ani Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo, hindi kataka-taka kung may banta sa buhay ni Duterte sa harap ng mga kampanyang kanyang isinusulong, partikular ang gera kontra-droga.
“There has always been threats against national leaders, and all the more so against this President who has made enemies in all fronts when he declared a war against drugs, criminality, corruption and all forms of illegality. It is public knowledge that the Chief Executive has made many powerful enemies for spearheading this reform agenda in the two-and-a-half years of his presidency,” paliwanag ni Panelo.
“Whether the threats are real or imagined, we take them seriously and the Palace commends the PSG for doing a good job. We also thank the overwhelming majority of Filipinos who understand the complexities involved in protecting the President’s welfare and show genuine concern on the security of PRRD,” dagdag pa ng opisyal.
Kahapon ay inamin ng Presidential Security Group na gumagamit ng bullet proof glass podium si Duterte.
Pero iginiit ni Panelo na hindi natatakot sa mga banta ang Pangulo.
“There is also no denying that President Duterte is a man of the masses and has made himself accessible to the public, and will do so at every opportunity. The man could not care less about these threats,” ani Panelo.
