00:00The National Bureau of Investigation recommends the filing of criminal charges of inciting
00:05to sedition and grave threat against Vice President Sara Duterte for saying she had
00:09arranged the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos
00:14and Speaker Martin Romualdez if she were killed first.
00:18In response to the recommendation, Duterte says in a message to reporters,
00:22As expected.
00:24The NBI has issued a subpoena for Duterte to appear before the agency as part of their
00:28investigation but she decided not to, after her lawyer told her submitting a counter-affidavit
00:33would suffice.
00:35The prosecution team from the Justice Department will handle the criminal process and will
00:39decide when to start hearings for the preliminary investigation.
00:42Although this is a separate legal process, it is expected to strengthen the articles
00:46of impeachment against Duterte.
