Vice President Sara Duterte faced the media at the Department of Justice in Manila on Friday, 9 May 2025, after filing her counter-affidavit against complaints of inciting to sedition and grave threats. This was after she allegedly plotted to kill President Bongbong Marcos and other members of his family.

Vice President Sara Duterte is currently on a personal trip with her family overseas, according to her office.
In a statement released by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) on Tuesday, June 10, Duterte is traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on a personal trip with her family.
The OVP also said that the Vice President will meet with the Filipino community and will attend the Independence Day celebration on 12 June.
"In the course of her visit, she is scheduled to attend the Independence Day celebration and engage in an OVP program consultation with Overseas Filipino Workers on 12 June," the OVP said.
The Vice President was impeached on 5 February after the House voted overwhelmingly — 215 lawmakers in favor — to adopt the articles of impeachment against her. She stands accused of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and other high crimes over, among other things, the alleged misuse of P612.5 million in confidential and intelligence funds of the OVP and the Department of Education, which she had concurrently headed.
Her lawyers said they are ready to confront the charges and expose the baselessness of the accusations against the Vice President should the Senate choose to proceed with the impeachment trial.
