A Vice President's Loose Lips, a Nation's Unease The Philippines is no stranger to high stakes politics, but when the second in command makes headlines for inciting violence against the head of state, it's more than just a curious anomaly.
This week, Vice President Sara Duterte posted bail after being ordered arrested on charges of publicly threatening to arrange the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and two others.
Duterte's outburst sparked outrage across the country, serving as a stark reminder that even in the halls of power, loose lips can have far reaching consequences.
