After snubbing NBI probe, Sara Duterte says she has no plans to hide
Vice President Sara Duterte stated that she has no intention of leaving the country or hiding, even if she faces arrest due to ongoing legal issues, including impeachment complaints and potential terrorism charges.
Duterte emphasized her desire to remain in the Philippines to be with her children, even in the event of detention.
Her remarks came after the Philippine National Police (PNP) filed complaints against her, Colonel Raymund Dante Lachica, and others, including charges of direct assault, disobedience, and grave coercion.
These legal actions are reportedly connected to an incident at the House of Representatives Detention Center and the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) concerning the detention of Duterte's chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez.
Duterte also revealed she skipped a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) probe, stating her belief that the investigation would be biased following remarks made by President Marcos.
She submitted a position paper and affidavit regarding supposed threats she made against President Marcos, his wife Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
