Vice President Sara Duterte’s security personnel was expected to be reduced from 335 personnel from the military to 24 members of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
According to several news reports, an agreement happened between PNP Gen. Rommel Marbil and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr. to reduce Duterte’s security.
Currently, 335 members of the Vice Presidential Security Protection Group (VPSPG) are handling Duterte’s security.
“All VPSPG personnel are being relieved and will be replaced by 24 PNP officers,” according to a member of VPSPG.
“They don’t even have a written order to show, and yet the 24 PNP personnel are already here,” they added.
Brawner Jr would lead the new security of Duterte.
It can be recalled that Duterte was facing left and right criticism after she declared that she already hired someone to take revenge for her if ever something bad happened to her.
She was also subject to an investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) because of her statements.
Aside from being investigated by the executive branch, Duterte also faced a possible impeachment from Congress.
Duterte then defended herself from the criticism, saying she was facing threats from her political enemies.

Talent manager and columnist Lolit Solis praised President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for being a gentleman amid the criticism he received from Vice President Sara Duterte.
In her post, Lolit said that Marcos was showing decency despite the threats he received from Duterte.
“Napaka gentleman ni PBBM na hindi nagbigay ng negative reaction sa balitang ito. Ngiti lang ang naging sagot niya sa mga nagtanong. So proud of his being a true gentleman, as well as a good leader to follow. Cool at calm lang siya, worthy of a good leader,” said Lolit.
Lolit also believed that many people still supported the Marcos administration and also noticed how hardworking the president was.
“Gusto parin ng marami ang pagpapa takbo niya ng gobyerno. Minsan nga ay maawa ka na sa nakikita mong pagod sa kanyang mukha. At pati na sa kanyang mga close in cabinet,” she stated.
The columnist also said she would respect and follow Marcos as she was confident that the latter would lead them well.
As of writing, the post already received a tremendous 170 likes from her followers.
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. had no time to meet his countrymen during his visit to the United Arab Emirates.
According to the report published by Khaleej Times, Marcos had already asked the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in UAE that his trip was so short that he couldn’t find a schedule to meet them.
Instead of meeting the OFWs contributing billions of pesos to the economy, Marcos would instead meet President Sheikh Mohamed in Abu Dhabi and other officials.
“The President begs the understanding of our kababayans (countrymen) in the UAE who have hoped for time with him, as he has decided to immediately fly back to Manila to resume his personal supervision and inspection of the relief and reconstruction activities in communities devastated by six successive typhoons,” the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said.
They were set to sign several agreements to improve the relations between the UAE and the Philippines.
OFWs were not happy that the President himself couldn’t find time to meet them.
“What kind of leader is this guy? He won’t meet his fellow countrymen in this foreign land? His countrymen who contributed big time because of remittances? No message of empower of emplowerment? Oh come on, boost our morale! Meet your kabayans, Mr. president. This isn’t about you after all, it’s all about us OFWs why you are going to have talks with the UAE government. Nandito ka dahil kami ang manpower ng bansang Pilipinas sa bansang ito. Haata na wala kang paki alam sa amin OFWs mas importante sa’yo ang agreement wherein makaka benefit ka din. Para ano ba naman ang isang oras halimbawa. I-entertain mo naman kami. Isama mo naman kami sa pinagkaka-abalahan mo,” netizen Nale said.
However, some OFWs expressed disinterest in meeting Marcos.
As of writing, Malacanang has yet to give a statement if they’re planning to change their plans during Marcos’ trip to UAE.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte clarified that he was referring to ‘chickens’ when he made an admission that he ended several lives during his career as a public official.
In a press conference held in Davao City on November 25, 2024, Duterte said that he was only giving them a silly answer because the members of the Quad Committee were asking him silly questions.
“The killing of what? Chickens ang sinabi ko don,” said Duterte. “Look, they were st*pid person asking questions, I was answering them st*pid answers,”
“They would like to hear kung ano ‘yung gusto nilang what they like to hear,” he added.
Duterte also addressed the military during his speech and asked them why they were still supporting President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, who’s allegedly using banned substances.
He even mentioned Special Assistant to the President Antonio Lagdameo Jr, who allegedly had the same vices as Marcos.
It can be recalled that Duterte attended the Quad Comm hearing last November 13 to face several lawmakers who wanted to know more about his policies during his presidency.
His daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, was also being investigated by congress for different reasons.
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.
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was not happy with Vice President Sara Duterte’s statements about him and his wife, First Lady Liza Marcos.
In a statement he released, Marcos said that he couldn’t imagine what Duterte could do if she could threaten the president.
According to Marcos, he would not hesitate to defend himself from Duterte’s plans against him.
“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.
It can be recalled that Duterte said that she hired someone to end the lives of the president, the first lady, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez if ever something bad happened to her.
Malacanang said they took Duterte’s statement seriously and added security to the President.
Department of Justice (DOJ) was also planning to studying the possible charges they could file against the Vice President.
Veteran actress Nadia Montenegro shared her state after she underwent an Ablation Procedure.
According to John Hopkins Medicine: “Ablation is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It uses small burns or freezes of heart cells to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart. This helps break up or insulate the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. This can help the heart maintain a normal heart rhythm,”
She also revealed that she was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which made the state of her heart worse.
“Ito po kasing Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome diseases ay umaatake po ang puso ko, umaabot po ng minsan 160 to 190 beats per minute,” she said.
THANKFUL FOR HER SECOND LIFE
Nadia also shared that her doctors had already declared code blue for almost four minutes after the operation due to seizure, which means that she was lifeless for the said period.
“Sabi po e ako ay nawala ng apat na minuto. Nangitim na lang po ako, nawala ang aking heart beat, hindi ko po alam kung anong nangyari basta paggising ko po e nandoon ang aking nanay, lahat ng aking mga anak nakita po nila yung nangyari,” Nadia said.
She was thankful that she survived the near-death experience.
“Marami pa po akong gagawin sa buhay…sa nanay ko, sa mga kapatid ko, sa aking mga anak, my son-in-laws, sa aking mga pamangkin, at lalung-lalo na sa aking mga apo, thank you from the bottom of my heart,” she stated.
The actress vowed to return to showbiz after getting enough rest.
Influencer Neri Naig, who’s also the wife of OPM legend Chito Miranda, was reportedly held under custody by the authorities, according to the source of talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz.
In his online program, Ogie discussed the reports surrounding Neri, dubbed ‘Misis na Wais’ by the netizens, for her tips on being a resourceful and financially literate housewife.
“Na-shock din kami nung sabihing top most wanted person ang naturang aktres. Di pa malinaw kung anong eksakto ang dahilan at kung sino ang mga nagrereklamo. Kung totoo man ito ay mas magandang mapakinggan din ang panig ni Neri,” said Ogie.
According to Ogie, Neri was facing cases for allegedly violating section 28 of RA 8799, also known as the securities and regulations code of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Neri’s last social media post was yesterday, November 23, when she was reportedly brought to the police station.
Ogie then urged Neri’s camp to clarify the reports, saying it would be better for the influencer to speak and clear her name.
It can be recalled that Neri was known for owning several businesses.
Vice President Sara Duterte, in a Facebook live on Sunday, November 24, challenged President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Sr and other public officials to undergo a drug test.
In her statement, Duterte said that the PBBM administration was using her as a distraction to prevent the people from noticing the government issues.
She also denied the allegations that she was not already mentally fit to become a public official.
To disprove the claims against her, Duterte said that she was ready to take psychological tests, neuropsychiatric tests, and any other tests to prove her competency.
“Psychological test, neuropsychiatric test, kahit ano pang test ‘yan, gagawin ko ‘yan. Dagdagan ko pa ng drug test, pero dapat magpa-drug test ang lahat ng nagta-trabaho sa office of the president, office of the vice president, sa lahat ng opisina ng senado, sa lahat ng opisina ng House of the Representatives, sa lahat ng departamento ng ating pamahalaan,” she said.
“Magpa-drug test tayo sa harap ng taong bayan,” she added.
Duterte made the statement amid the possible impeachment complaint filed against her due to her alleged corrupt activities.
As of writing, the Palace has yet to give a response to Duterte’s challenge.
