Philippine court postpones Duterte’s arraignment over threats against Marcos
Sara Duterte's legal team secured a postponement of her arraignment on charges of making grave threats against president Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the first lady and the House Speaker.
Manila court delays Sara Duterte's arraignment on charges of making grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, First Lady, and House Speaker pending resolution of her legal team's motion. Sara Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, maintains her innocence, claiming her remarks were misinterpreted. Her defense attorney, Paul Lim, announced the postponement outside the court, stating that Duterte had not entered a plea.
The charges, originating from Duterte's 2024 online press conference, could potentially impact her 2028 presidential aspirations. She currently faces up to six months in prison if convicted. The case is also part of an impeachment complaint against Duterte, who is on trial at the Senate as an impeachment court.
