Sara Duterte accuses Philippine government of child abuse over family surveillance

Monday, 7 September 2026, 07:01 · 1 min read

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte has accused the Marcos administration of "child abuse" after law enforcement officials acknowledged conducting surveillance operations that she says have endangered her children. Duterte claimed Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla and police admitted to monitoring her whereabouts, arguing that their presence near locations where her mother and minor children reside amounts to using children as a tool of coercion. The accusation comes days after Duterte posted bail on a grave threats charge related to alleged threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family, deepening a high-profile political rift between the two former allies.
