THE Presidential Security Command (PSC) on Saturday said it had 'heightened and strengthened its security protocols' for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the first family following an 'active threat' made by Vice President Sara Duterte.
In a statement, the PSC said it was also closely coordinating with law enforcement agencies 'to detect, deter, and defend against any and all threats to the president and the first family.'

Lopez, who is detained at the House of Representatives for contempt, was brought initially for a checkup at the St. Luke’s Hospital in Quezon City. She was transferred to VMMC on orders of the House. Lopez was cited for contempt and detained after she refused to cooperate in the investigation into the use of confidential funds by the OVP. PHOTO BY JOHN ORVEN VERDOTE
