VP Sara should submit herself to rule of law – DOJ exec
Department of Justice (DOJ) Undersecretary Jesse Hermogenes T. Andres emphasized that public officials must lead by example in adhering to the rule of law.
Andres made this statement in reaction to Vice President Sara Duterte's failure to appear before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for an inquiry into alleged threats she made against President Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
He stated that being part of legal processes is an affirmation of one's belief in the rule of law.
The Vice President did not attend the NBI's subpoena and did not submit a sworn statement regarding allegations of grave threats and violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
The NBI received a letter from Duterte's lawyer, asserting that the DOJ cannot provide justice because it falls under the Office of the President.
