00:00Vice President Sara Duterte says the Marcos Jr. administration is making use of the anti-terrorism
00:07law to harass her.
00:09It is the same law her father's administration championed.
00:13The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 grants authorities expanded powers to combat terrorism but has
00:18sparked concerns over human rights violations.
00:22She says,
00:23They're trying to reach my properties and assets.
00:26Under the law, the Anti-Terrorism Council can order the freezing of financial assets
00:30or properties.
00:31Duterte once served as co-vice chair of the National Task Force to End Local Communist
00:35Armed Conflict, a body notorious for red-tagging activists, opposition figures, and critics.
00:41A subpoena from the NBI instructed Duterte to appear before NBI Director Jaime Santiago
00:47at his office on the morning of Friday, November 29.
00:50This follows her November 23 online tirade, during which she declared she had asked a
00:55hitman to kill the president, his wife and his cousin, in case she is assassinated.
