00:28At a press conference Monday evening, November 25, Duterte once again called President Ferdinand
00:33Marcos Jr. a drug addict.
00:35But this time, he included Marcos' special assistant, Antonio Lagdameo Jr., in the allegations
00:40of illegal substance use.
00:42Duterte presented no proof to back his claims.

00:49he was careful not to explicitly call for a coup.
