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.
