Philippine Vice President Duterte Faces Scrutiny Over Threats Against President Marcos

Sara Duterte denies making death threats as tensions rise between her and President Marcos amid impeachment complaints and investigations.

Vice President Sara Duterte skipped a National Bureau of Investigation hearing regarding alleged death threats she made against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and others.
Duterte, who has fallen out with Marcos after their 2022 election alliance, denies making any 'grave threat' and claims her remarks were misinterpreted.
The investigation follows a November press conference where Duterte stated she would retaliate against Marcos and others if her life were threatened, comments she later walked back.
Duterte is also facing impeachment complaints over allegations of constitutional violations, misuse of government funds, and betrayal of public trust.
Marcos has dismissed Duterte's remarks as reckless but has reportedly urged lawmakers not to pursue impeachment efforts against her.
