NBI mandated by law to probe VP Duterte threats vs Marcos – Lotoc

Jeremy Lotoc, a regional director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), testified that the bureau is legally obligated to investigate threats against high-ranking officials. This came during the fourth day of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial, where allegations of threats against former President Ferdinand Marcos were being scrutinized. The NBI's role in such investigations underscores the importance of safeguarding government officials from potential harm, reflecting broader concerns about political safety and the rule of law in the country.
