She didn’t simply threaten to have him killed - she said that she had arranged to have him killed if he had her killed.
So it’s only really a “threat” if he intends to have her killed.
So essentially, Bongbong is admitting that he intends to have her killed.
Again though it wasn’t just a threat - it was a very specific if/then statement - “I’ve arranged it so that if he has me killed, he will be killed.”
Granted that it’s a bit unsettling, my immediate response, and IMO the likely immediate response of virtually anyone and everyone, would be “But I don’t intend to have you killed.”
