Agot took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to express frustration after watching a video widely speculated to be linked to the ongoing rift between the Marcos and Duterte camps.

The controversy stems from Vice President Duterte’s alleged threat against President Marcos, his wife First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez. In an online press conference with her chief of staff, Atty. Zuleika Lopez, Duterte reportedly issued a bold statement detailing instructions for retaliation if harm were to come to her.
“May kinausap na ako na tao. Sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘Kapag pinatay ako, patayin mo si BBM, si Liza Araneta, at si Martin Romualdez.’ No joke, no joke,” she said.
This declaration has raised alarms within the Palace, with officials treating it as a serious threat and deploying measures to ensure the safety of the President and his family.
Agot’s remarks sparked a wave of responses from netizens who shared their own reflections on the current political climate. Many agreed with her sentiment, while others expressed regret over their votes.
Several users noted that the ongoing tension within the administration was foreseeable, citing unresolved controversies and divided loyalties among its officials.
Known for her candid takes on political issues, Agot has consistently used her platform to call for accountability and good governance. Her latest post aligns with her long-standing advocacy for informed voting and active civic engagement.
As the political drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these developments will affect public perception of the administration and its allies. Meanwhile, Agot’s remarks have once again ignited discussions on the importance of political accountability and the consequences of leadership choices.
