In a recent statement, Malacañang has declared its intention to allow the legal system to handle the serious allegations against Vice President Sara Duterte without interference. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin emphasized that the Palace will not meddle in the criminal investigation concerning charges of grave threats and inciting to sedition filed against Duterte. Speaking to the press, Bersamin affirmed that the process would be allowed to proceed independently, highlighting the autonomy of the Department of Justice (DOJ) in such matters. He stressed that the investigation would be left entirely to the professionals at the DOJ, ensuring a thorough examination of the case. The charges stem from Duterte’s controversial statements about hiring an assassin to target President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, should an alleged plot against her succeed. The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) brought these charges to the DOJ, marking a significant development in the ongoing legal saga.
