Philippine VP faces legal troubles after Congress incident and unusual statements
Philippine law-enforcement opened case against Vice President Sara Duterte for alleged confrontation with authorities. Additional controversy surrounds her recent public statements about high-ranking officials
In a recent turn-of-events the Quezon City police department moved forward with legal action against Sara Duterte - the vice president of Philippines and her security personnel. The charges stem from a run-in at Congress where they supposedly defied orders and got into a physical altercation with local authorities
This legal matter comes separate from another developing situation; where Duterte made some eye-raising comments about high-ranking government officials. In an unexpected public statement she mentioned potential retaliation against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr his spouse and the House speaker (suggesting harmful actions if something were to happen to her due to an un-specified threat)
The vice-presidents office hasnt provided any proof or additional info about the supposed plot against her‚ but her remarks caused quite a stir in political circles. The whole situation highlights growing complications between key government figures in Manilaʼs power-structure
