Ortega questions ‘double standard’ in VP Duterte threat case

Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega V has raised eyebrows by calling out a perceived "double standard" in the treatment of Vice President Sara Duterte's controversial threats to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez if she were to be killed. Ortega's comments highlight the stark contrast between Duterte's case and how similar threats might be handled in other contexts, suggesting a troubling inconsistency in legal and public scrutiny. This issue underscores broader questions about free speech, accountability, and the protection of political figures in the Philippines.
