NBI complaint a chance for VP Sara Duterte to clear name —DOJ spox
The Department of Justice (DOJ) hopes that Vice President Sara Duterte will view the criminal complaints filed against her as an opportunity to clear her name.
DOJ spokesperson Mico Clavano stated that the NBI filed incitement to sedition and grave threat complaints against Duterte.
Clavano emphasized that the process is transparent and that Duterte has the right to submit a counter-affidavit to defend herself.
The complaints stem from Duterte's public statement about ordering someone to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife Liza, and Speaker Martin Romualdez if she were to be killed.
The National Prosecution Service (NPS) will review the complaints to determine if there is a reasonable certainty of conviction.
