(Eagle News)–President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, April 2, said someone wanted him killed, as he spoke behind a bullet-proof glass in a PDP-Laban campaign rally in Malabon.
But the President downplayed the alleged plot, saying he believed “ang buhay ay swerte-swerte lang.”
“Kung panahon ko na talaga, wala na akong magawa,” Duterte said.
He said he, however, had no control over the security arrangements of the Presidential Security Group.
He said he was used to being close to the people even when he was mayor of Davao.
“Pagka-presidente ko iba ang istilo at gusto nila distansiya at hindi makadikit,” he said.
