Vice President Sara Duterte posted bail after facing arrest over alleged threats to assassinate President Marcos Jr. and two others — a move that underscores a deepening political rift. Dressed in black and flanked by supporters, she publicly denied the claims, showing a court order nullifying the warrant and expressing fears of ongoing harassment. Her legal team confirmed she paid 360,000 pesos for three counts of grave threats, vowing full cooperation with the law. The case could bar her from future public office, including a 2028 presidential bid, and stems from controversial remarks made during an online press conference last year. Duterte later clarified those comments were about personal safety, not intent to kill. With impeachment proceedings underway in the Senate and Marcos allies dominating the House, this episode is shaping up as a pivotal moment in Philippine politics.
