The National Bureau of Investigation said it was open to investigating former President Rodrigo Duterte for his remark about killing 15 incumbent
senators, but only if the senators themselves file a complaint.
But Santiago said the former President’s remark about “blowing up” senators was more of a joke and merely part of his political propaganda. “We’re used to the language of the former President. We cannot jump at his every word. But if the senators themselves complain, then we have reason to act on the matter because of course they are the ones endangered by such statements,” Remulla said.
During the PDP proclamation rally in San Juan Tuesday last week, Duterte said all of his candidates would get a seat in the Upper Chamber if 15 senators were killed. “With due respect sa kanila, they are pushing for the filing of a case, but they are not involved actually – our senators are the ones involved,” he said.
