LOOK: QC RTC warrant of arrest for VP Sara Duterte

Branch 98 of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court has issued a warrant of arrest for Vice President Sara Duterte over three counts of grave threats.

The document shows that it was signed by Presiding Judge Maria Angelica P. De Ramos, who set bail at P120,000 per count.

To recall, the DOJ filed three counts of grave threats against the vice president over her remarks that she hired an individual to kill President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and former Speaker Martin Romualdez, should an alleged plot against her succeed.

Following this, Duterte filed a motion to quash on the ground of jurisdiction, arguing that she and other impeachable officers have limited procedural immunity while in office under the 1987 Constitution.

The court held the oral arguments on Duterte’s motion in late August. Duterte had said her remarks were "maliciously taken out of logical context."

The vice president’s alleged grave threats against the Marcoses and Romualdez are also the basis of one of the Articles of Impeachment against her in the ongoing trial before the Senate impeachment court. –NB, GMA News
