Philippine VP Duterte posts bail over 'grave threats' against president

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte posted a total of 360,000 pesos in bail at the Quezon City Regional Trial Court on Saturday, lifting the arrest warrant issued against her for three counts of grave threats. The case stems from a November 2024 online press conference where Duterte stated she had talked to an assassin and instructed him to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and wife

The grave threats charges run parallel to her ongoing Senate impeachment trial, which includes allegations of corruption and abuse of power. Duterte has denied all accusations.
