Vice President Sara Duterte has been approved by President Marcos Jr for a foreign trip spanning five countries from July 16 to 31, coinciding with her ongoing impeachment proceedings in Manila.
An NBI investigator testified that evidence gathered during the agency's probe indicates Vice President Sara Duterte hired someone to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., though he acknowledged having no direct personal knowledge of the alleged plot.
Vice President Sara Duterte has reiterated that the impeachment complaint against her regarding an alleged assassination plot lacks credible evidence, pointing to inconsistencies in prosecution filings as her defence team cross-examines witnesses.
Vice President Sara Duterte's legal team argued Wednesday that her 2024 threats against President Marcos and allies fall short of constitutional grounds for impeachment, claiming she acted as a concerned family member responding to alleged surveillance and security risks.
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte has adopted language of resilience as her impeachment trial advances, insisting she will emerge "bloodied but unbowed" despite facing serious charges including misuse of funds and assassination threats.
