PNP says complaints vs VP Sara not 'politically motivated'
The Philippine National Police (PNP) stated that the cases filed against Vice President Sara Duterte and others were not politically motivated, but rather a demonstration that the law applies to everyone.
A police doctor filed a complaint against Vice President Duterte, her security detail head, and others concerning an incident at Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC).
The complaint alleges unlawful acts, including assault, disobedience, and coercion, related to the transfer of Duterte's chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, from the House of Representatives Detention Center to VMMC.
The PNP claims Duterte's security detail facilitated the "forced transfer" of Lopez to St. Luke's Medical Center using a private ambulance.
Vice President Duterte also announced her intention to file criminal complaints against the police officers involved in Lopez's transfer.
PNP Chief Police Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil affirmed the police force's commitment to enforcing the law impartially.
