Vice President Sara Duterte confirmed Tuesday that the Office of the Prosecutor summoned her for an investigation by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) following the filing of a case against her the previous night.
"In fact, I also received a summons earlier today from the Office of the Prosecutor regarding the case filed by the National Bureau of Investigation against me," Duterte said in Filipino during an interview in Southern Leyte.
She did not provide further details about the summons.
NBI chief Jaime Santiago clarified that the summons was related to the preliminary investigation into the case regarding Duterte's threat to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife Liza, and cousin Speaker Martin Romualdez.
