VP Sara Duterte wants cases filed over father Rodrigo’s arrest
Vice President Sara Duterte is calling for charges against government officials implicated by Senator Imee Marcos in the alleged illegal arrest and transfer of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
Senator Marcos recommended that the Office of the Ombudsman investigate Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, Philippine National Police chief Police General Rommel Marbil, and CIDG chief Police Major General Nicolas Torre III.
She also recommended a probe into Special Envoy for Transnational Crimes Ambassador Markus Lacanilao for alleged usurpation of official functions.
VP Duterte thanked Senator Marcos for her recommendations and expressed a desire to see legal action taken against those responsible for what she described as the "kidnapping" of her father.
She challenged the Marcos administration to act on the senator's recommendations, stating that filing cases would demonstrate the arrest was not politically motivated.
