Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte Posts Bail in Assassination Threat Case
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte posted bail after a court issued an arrest order over charges of publicly threatening to arrange the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and a cousin. Duterte denies the allegations and expressed concerns about her safety, citing alleged harassment by police. The case stems from a 2024 online press conference and is part of a political rift between Duterte and Marcos, former allies turned rivals. Duterte plans to contest the charges, which could bar her from future public office.
