After subpoena for VP Sara Duterte, what’s next?
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) confirmed the authenticity of a video showing Vice President Sara Duterte discussing plans to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the House Speaker.
The NBI issued a subpoena to Vice President Duterte, requiring her to appear on November 29, 2024, to explain her alleged remarks.
The investigation pertains to grave threats, potential violations of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, and the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) supports the NBI's actions, emphasizing that threats from public officials will not be tolerated and that Duterte could face charges for libel, defamation, and grave threat.
NBI Director Jaime Santiago stated that they would provide Duterte with courtesy and due process, and her appearance on Friday is crucial for answering their questions, although she may bring legal counsel.
Santiago added that the NBI possesses evidence, including the verified video, should Duterte fail to appear.
