‘I really believe that I have reached the point of no return…. They are really going after me,’ says the Vice President
ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, November 27, appeared resigned to accepting her fate in the event she is impeached.
“If I get impeached, then that’s my end,” Duterte said in a press conference in this southern Philippine city. “They can always spend and spend money so as to fight against me.”
“Gumastos at magwaldas ng pera ng gobyerno para i-impeach ang Vice President…para pagtakpan at pagtakpan ang kakulangan at pagsisinungaling ng ating administrasyon para matakpan ng mga tao na ang mga pangako ay napako, ay babanatan at babanatan nila ako. They can try, and then let’s see,” she said.
(They spend and squander government money to impeach the Vice President in order to cover up the shortcomings and lies of the administration, to cover up the unfulfilled promises, they will repeatedly attack me. They can try, and then let’s see.)

MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is already preparing for the arrival of Vice President Sara Duterte on Friday in reference to the subpoena it issued against her over her alleged threat against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s life.
“The subpoena is at 9 a.m.,” the NBI told reporters through Viber on Thursday.
However, the Office of the Vice President (OVP) has yet to confirm whether Duterte will appear before the NBI.
It was on Tuesday when the NBI issued a subpoena against Duterte over her remarks involving a kill order she herself admitted against the President, First Lady Liza Araneta, and Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Duterte said she instructed a still unidentified personality to kill Marcos, his wife, and cousin in the event of her demise.
The NBI, through the subpoena, asked Duterte to present evidence on its investigation of alleged grave threats under Article 282 of the Revised Penal Code in relation to Section 6 of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No, 10175).
The document also stated that Duterte may have violated the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 (RA 11479).
Duterte on Wednesday said she asked the NBI to reschedule the subpoena as she was set to also attend a House panel probe on the alleged misuse of funds in the OVP.
However, the House committee on good government and public accountability on Thursday postponed the hearing to give way for Duterte to answer the summons and for the House to “no longer be used as an excuse.”
Furthermore, the NBI also said that it has not received an official request from Duterte to move the summons.
