According to the Philippine Ministry of Justice and the lawyer of Vice President Sarah Duterte, a district court in Quezon, Manila, had issued an arrest warrant for Sarah that day.
According to Philippine media reports, the regional court in Quezon City found that Sarah was suspected of threatening to hire others to assassinate President Marcos of the Philippines, former Speaker of the Philippines Martin Romualdes, and others.
Under Philippine law, bail is permitted for the relevant charges.
Sarah‘s lawyer issued a statement that day saying that Sarah had no intention of evading the law and would continue to exercise all her legal relief rights.
Sarah, the eldest daughter of former President Duterte, announced her candidacy for the 2028 presidential election in February. In July, the Philippines Senate announced the start of a impeachment trial against her and held hearings, making it the first impeachment trial against the current vice president in Philippine history. Sarah was accused of corruption, conspiracy to assassinate, and abuse of office power.
