DoJ to issue subpoena to VP Sara, tasks NBI to hunt down alleged assassins
The Department of Justice (DOJ) will issue a subpoena to Vice President Sara Duterte regarding her alleged assassination remarks against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., First Lady Louise "Liza" Araneta-Marcos, and Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla directed the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to thoroughly investigate the viral video of the Vice President admitting she has arranged an assassination plot against the President, First Couple, and Speaker.
The NBI has the authority to issue the subpoena, which will be served immediately.
Remulla also tasked the NBI with hunting down the supposed assassins contracted by the Vice President to hold them accountable.
These matters were emphasized during a press briefing in Malacañang attended by DOJ Undersecretary Jesse Andres, Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon, and NBI Director Jaime Santiago.
It can be recalled that during a press conference held on October 18, 2024, the Vice President had already made alarming remarks against President Marcos, insinuating that she would "chop off his head."
Andres explained that her statement could initially be taken as a mere metaphor or an expression of anger.
