NBI reschedules VP Sara’s appearance to Dec. 11
Vice President Sara Duterte did not appear before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday, November 29, 2024, for a probe into alleged threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Duterte's legal counsel cited a scheduling mix-up and late notification of a House of Representatives hearing cancellation as reasons for her absence.
Despite her absence, House Assistant Majority Leader Jefferson "Jay" Khonghun expressed disappointment, stating that the cancellation of a Blue Ribbon Committee hearing should have allowed Duterte to attend the NBI probe.
Duterte's lawyers have requested a clear copy of the complaint and the specific questions for the probe, invoking her constitutional rights.
The NBI has tentatively rescheduled her appearance for December 11, 2024, and will also investigate Duterte's claim of a threat to her own life.
