Overview

VP Sara Duterte and her camp publicly discussed safety fears and distrust of authorities while she posted bail for grave threats at a Quezon City court (QCRTC).

Key Points / Arguments

  • Bail posted; warrant lifted: Her legal team said the VP voluntarily appeared before the court and that the arrest warrant was lifted once bail was processed.
  • Bail amounts clarified: The case involved grave threats with three counts, with ₱120,000 bail per count, totaling ₱360,000.
  • Court procedures during the bail process: Lawyers explained that while she was in court, court staff handled required intake steps—such as photo/profile handling and fingerprints—as part of standard procedures. They emphasized that the process followed normal booking protocols and involved no special treatment.
  • Media and security issues: Duterte repeatedly said she did not feel safe and did not trust the police/government, adding that the security measures and actions taken by authorities made her anxious. She also requested that media accompany her and indicated she wanted to be visible at all times.
  • Why she feared detention or harm: She expressed concern that if something went wrong with the bail arrangements, she could be taken into custody (e.g., BJMP) and potentially harmed—contributing to her extended waiting time outside the courthouse earlier.
  • Mobility decisions explained: The report notes she took the stairs and avoided elevators at points, saying she wanted the media to see where she was going and to accompany her until she could board the convoy.
  • Supporters present; process timeline: She arrived around late morning and stayed at QCRTC for more than two hours. The bail process was completed at about 1:00 PM. Supporters remained outside, and she spoke with and hugged them before leaving.
