Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte posts bail after arrest on threats charges

Sunday, 6 September 2026, 06:24 · 1 min read

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte has posted bail after a Quezon City Regional Trial Court issued a warrant for her arrest on three counts of grave threats. The charges stem from a November 2024 press conference in which Duterte stated she had arranged for someone to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and a third individual if she herself were killed. A photo purporting to show Duterte in handcuffs during the bail proceedings has been identified as AI-altered; she was not handcuffed at the court.
