Philippines VP claims removal plot as police file serious charges against her
Top-level political conflict erupts in Philippines as VP faces police accusations of assault and coercion. Former powerful alliance between two ruling families breaks down amid controversial statements and investigations
In a high-stakes political showdown Vice President Sara Duterte faces serious charges from Philippine police‚ including assault and coercion (these events mark another chapter in growing conflict between nations top leaders)
The dispute started when VPʼs aide needed medical help at Congress building; her security team got into trouble with local police officers – this led to formal complaints being filed. Sara Duterte says these claims dont make sense: “Its clear they want to push me out of my position“
During oct-24 VP got into hot water over her work as education minister and vice president spending. She skipped many questions from lawmakers which made things worse between her and Ferdinand Marcos Jrʼs administration
There is no active threat if I do not get killed
The relationship between two powerful families – who worked together to help Marcos Jr win big in 2022 elections – hit rock-bottom after VP made weird comments about hiring someone to hurt the president his wife and house speaker if something happened to her first
This all happens while her father ex-president Rodrigo Duterte (who ran country from 16 to 22) deals with his own problems:
- Questions about drug-war deaths
- International Criminal Court looking into his actions
- Recent govʼt hints about helping with international arrest warrants
- His statement about taking full blame for anti-drug operations
The national police chief Rommel Francisco Marbil keeps it simple: everyone must follow rules no matter who they are; but things between countrys leaders seem to be getting worse day-by-day
