Philippine VP Sara Duterte faces arrest warrant for grave threats

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte faces an arrest warrant issued by a trial court for alleged grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr, the first lady, and a former House speaker. The charges stem from remarks made in November 2024, where Duterte claimed to have instructed an assassin to target the Marcoses and a cousin if she were killed, though she has denied making threats. This legal action is separate from an ongoing impeachment complaint against her, which could lead to her removal from office and impact her 2028 presidential aspirations. AI
