Defense: NBI probe into Sara Duterte threats vs Marcos inconsistent

In the impeachment trial, defense counsel Amando Ligutan argued that the National Bureau of Investigation's probe into threats made by Vice President Sara Duterte against President Marcos Jr. is inconsistent and unrelated to the issue of whether Duterte betrayed public trust by allegedly hiring an assassin. The defense's contention highlights the complexities and potential political ramifications of the case, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing the connections—or lack thereof—between various investigations. This situation underscores broader concerns about political accountability and the rule of law in the Philippines.
