VP Sara Duterte, mahigit 300 pa ang bodyguards, ayon kay Sec. Remulla
Vice President Sara Duterte expressed concern for her family's safety and described the recall of 75 police personnel from her security detail as "political harassment."
She thanked Senators Ronald Dela Rosa, Robin Padilla, and Bong Go for their support, assuring the public that she does not need financial contributions for her security.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that the recall is not a "bad matter," as Duterte still has approximately 320 security personnel, which is more than President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s detail.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) explained that the withdrawal of 75 out of 106 officers was to address a personnel shortage in Metro Manila and increase police visibility, particularly after recent events.
PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo clarified that the move was coordinated to boost on-the-ground police presence.
