Sara Duterte will not attend NBI probe on alleged threats against Marcos Jr

Vice President Sara Duterte will not attend the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) probe on December 11 regarding her alleged death threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Her lawyers advised that submitting an affidavit or position paper is sufficient. Duterte previously missed a scheduled appearance on November 29, citing a conflict with a House inquiry. The NBI rescheduled her appearance to allow more preparation time for the investigation into her comments made during a press briefing on November 23. The NBI is looking into Duterte's remarks made during the briefing, which followed the detention of her chief of staff. The investigation also involves media members and vloggers who reported on the event.
