All threats to public officials will be investigated, according to the Department of Justice.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has one month to file a report on the claimed assassination attempt on presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. via TikTok, a video-based social media platform.

Menardo Guevarra, the Secretary of the Department of Justice (DOJ), said on Monday that the government investigates any threats against public officials, past and present, including candidates for public office, as soon as information is received.

“Our regular reporting period is thirty days, but the NBI will report immediately if it finds something early enough,” Guevarra told reporters via text message.

Individuals who threaten to kill or rape public officials may also be tracked down by the DOJ Office of Cybercrime and the National Bureau of Investigation, he said.

“All that is required is for the information to reach the appropriate authorities,” said Guevarra.

He went on to say that a death threat is illegal whether one believes it or not, and even if it is unlikely.

Likewise, Vice President Leonor Robredo, who is also running for president, has received death threats in the past.

“We are gathering every day to arrange for BBM’s (Bongbong Marcos) killing,” the TikTok user allegedly wrote. Prepare yourself.”

Marcos’ chief of staff, lawyer Vic Rodriguez, said in a statement on Sunday that “we are not covered by such threat” and that “all of our campaign operations will continue.”
