Philippine Police File Criminal Complaints Against Vice President Sara Duterte and Her Chief of Staff [Video]

Philippine police filed criminal complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte and her security staff on Wednesday. The charges stem from allegations of assaulting authorities and defying orders during a recent incident in Congress.

These complaints, lodged by Quezon City police, are separate from potential legal actions linked to Duterte’s public threats. She had warned of retaliatory measures, including assassinating President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the House Speaker, if she faced harm in an unspecified plot. Duterte has not provided details of this alleged threat.

Adding to the controversy, Presidential Adviser Larry Gadon filed a Supreme Court petition to disbar Duterte as a lawyer. He cited her assassination threats, calling them “illegal, immoral, and condemnable.”

The ongoing feud between the Marcos and Duterte political camps marks a critical point in a power struggle between two of the Philippines’ most influential families.
