Ex-press secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles attends NBI probe on Sara 'kill' remark
Three journalists appeared before the NBI Cybercrime Division to provide statements regarding alleged threats made by Vice President Sara Duterte during a press conference.
Former Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles also appeared before the NBI, having attended Duterte's November 23 press conference as a "political vlogger."
During the press conference, VP Duterte stated she had arranged for the assassination of President Marcos Jr., the First Lady, and the House Speaker if an alleged plot against her succeeded.
The NBI is investigating Duterte for alleged grave threats in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 and possible violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
VP Duterte has since claimed her statement was taken out of context and intended maliciously.
The Vice President is scheduled to appear before the NBI on December 11, but may face submission of evidence to DOJ prosecutors if she fails to appear again.
Cruz-Angeles, who previously served as PCOO secretary, resigned in October 2022 and was known for critical posts about the president's family prior to her government post.
