Vice President Sara Duterte said that she was not afraid of facing the Department of Justice (DOJ) after they issued a subpoena against her.
The subpoena was released following the statements made by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. after Duterte made threats against his wife, Liza Marcos, and cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
“Kung ganoon na lang kadali ang pagplano sa pagpatay ng isang presidente, paano pa kaya ang mga pangkaraniwang mamayan? Ang ganyang kriminal na pagbabanta ay hindi dapat pinapalagpas. ‘Yan ay aking papalagan,” said PBBM.
During an interview on November 25, 2024, Duterte said that she would also ask questions to the DOJ.
“Hindi ko rin palalagpasin ‘yung mga ginagawa nila sakin. I wil gladly answer ‘yung mga tanong na gustoo nilang ipasagot pero dapat sumagot din sila sa mga tanong ko sa kanila,” she said.
“Magkita nalang kami doon,” she added.
Meanwhile, impeachment against Duterte was looming after the members of the Congress showed their numbers during the speech of Romualdez.
