In response to Vice President Sara Duterte's admission of attempting to hire a hitman, Rep. Jude Acidre proposes a bill that aims to criminalize the act of solicitation to murder. The bill seeks to address any attempts to induce another person to commit murder, whether the act is completed or not.
House Deputy Majority Leader and Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre House Deputy Majority Leader and Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre proposed on Wednesday the “Anti-Solicitation to Murder Bill” in response to the recent admission of Vice President Sara Duterte that she contracted a killer to carry out a politically motivated murder plot.
“House Bill 11166 is a response to the lack of a clear law against this type of violence,” Acidre said in Tagalog. “This kind of behavior, even from the highest government official, cannot be allowed to go unpunished,” he added. Both Marcos and Romualdez condemned her statements. Thereafter, the National Bureau of Investigation issued a subpoena addressed to the Vice President seeking her explanation on the matter amid applicable charges under the Revised Penal Code.
