VP Sara Duterte reschedules NBI appearance
Vice President Sara Duterte missed her scheduled appearance at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday, citing a scheduling conflict.
Duterte's lawyer requested a rescheduling due to an ongoing House of Representatives hearing that was later canceled to accommodate the NBI investigation; the NBI confirmed that Duterte will appear before the bureau on December 11.
The NBI also stated that they would comply with the request for a clearer copy of the complaint against her and provide details related to the document within the day.
Duterte was subpoenaed by the NBI following her statement about contracting an assassin to target President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez if she is assassinated first.
Despite the request for rescheduling, Justice Undersecretary Jesse Andres emphasized the urgency of continuing the investigation into potential threats and violations under the Anti-Terrorism Law without delay.
