President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says allegations that a company linked to Vice President Sara Duterte received funds from China could pose a “highest-level” national security threat if proven true. He emphasizes that the claim must be substantiated before any conclusions are drawn, and he frames the issue as escalating from a financial allegation to a national security concern.
Marcos makes the remarks while confirming the government is investigating the matter. In his account, the “most disturbing aspect” is the alleged Chinese funding, which he says could affect the Republic’s security if verified. The coverage centers on his warning about the severity of the potential threat, alongside the government’s ongoing inquiry, rather than on presenting new evidence or specific findings.
