Sara Duterte
[10] In November 2024, Duterte claimed that she had communicated with a contract killer to target president Marcos, his wife Liza, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez in the event of herself being assassinated.[12] Growing up in what she called a "broken family",[13] she has spoken of her "love-hate relationship" with her father when she was a student due to her disapproval for his womanizing tendencies and late night habits.[20] She then worked for a few months as a court attorney at the office of Supreme Court Associate Justice Romeo Callejo Sr.[19] Sara's father Rodrigo had admitted to initially keeping his family members from entering "the messy and difficult world of politics", but by December 2006, he expressed that he would like for Sara to run as his running mate in the 2007 mayoral elections due to his concern for corrupt politicians taking over and ruining his legacy.[21] Sara Duterte was elected vice mayor in 2007 with over 330,000 votes, defeating lone opponent Jeff Ho and succeeding Luis Bonguyan.Nograles earlier filed a protest at the Commission on Elections in Manila questioning the results, stating that there was a conspiracy of local poll officials.[42][43] According to lawyer Salvador Panelo, Duterte had been reluctant in running for mayor, wishing to stay away from politics and instead continue her legal practice, but was eventually convinced by her father.Following the creation of HNP, a feud began between Duterte and one of her father's allies, then House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, citing its formation as an example of the entrenchment of political dynasties in the country."[56] Months later, Alvarez was unseated as the House Speaker in the 17th Congress, with former president and Pampanga's 2nd district representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo taking his place.[58][59] Duterte also established the Peace 911 program to address the local communist rebellion through a "human-centered" approach, bringing several government services to far-flung areas.In response, Duterte created a city task force for COVID-19 and other public health emergencies and instituted several measures to limit the spread of the disease and address the crisis.[100][101] At her request, the oath-taking, which was the first in Mindanao for a vice president, was administered by Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando, her former professor at San Beda College of Law.[109] On March 9, 2023, Duterte launched the "Mag Negosyo Ta 'Day" program which aims to financially support women and LGBTQIA+ members, alongside other marginalized sectors, by facilitating a business-friendly environment and encouraging the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises.[116] On June 13–14, Duterte visited Singapore wherein she met with President Halimah Yacob, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and other officials to discuss the strong bilateral relationship between both countries.[117] Duterte then paid an official visit to South Korea in September 2023 in order to serve as keynote speaker at the Global Education and Innovation Summit where she spoke about the disruption caused by the pandemic as well as the uncertainties posed by the boom of artificial intelligence.[153] On May 10, 2024, the DepEd signed a Joint Memorandum Circular with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for the country's senior high school graduates to be provided with free national certification assessments, the accreditation of DepEd senior high schools as assessment centers, along with the training and certification of technical vocational livelihood (TVL) teachers as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) competency assessors, as a means of boosting the employment opportunities of the country's senior high school students."[162] In January 2024, former senator Antonio Trillanes claimed that Duterte was included as a “secondary respondent" in a crimes against humanity case pending before the International Criminal Court (ICC).[172][173] On July 24, 2024, Duterte left the country for Germany for a personal trip with her mother, husband, and children some hours prior to the southwestern monsoon, enhanced by Typhoon Gaemi (locally called Carina), which caused significant rainfall and affected Luzon.[175] Her departure faced criticism from netizens and Representative Edcel Lagman (Albay–1st) for perceived insensitivity during the crisis,[176][177] though Senator Imee Marcos defended her, stating that Duterte didn't know that there would be a storm.[178] On August 7, 2024, Duterte publicly criticized the Marcos government and the House of Representatives over issues such as failures in disaster management, policing, healthcare reform, and the possible involvement of the International Criminal Court in investigating the Philippine drug war spearheaded by her father as president.[186] On October 18, 2024, Duterte held a press conference at her office, where she discussed her fallout with Marcos, claiming he "does not know how to be president" and has led the country "on the road to hell.[191] On the sixth hearing, Duterte's chief of staff, Zuleika T. Lopez, was cited in contempt for undue interference; she would later be detained at a detention facility within the Batasang Pambansa Complex.[192] During a midnight press conference on November 22, 2024, initiated by Lopez, Duterte claimed to have spoken with a contract killer to target President Marcos, his wife Liza, and House Speaker Romualdez in the event of her assassination, which the administration deemed an "active threat" against the government.[212] In 2024, the lower chamber's Committee on Good Government started investigations against the vice president's alleged misuse of funds after the approval of the 2025 OVP budget was deferred.On September 25, a former DepEd undersecretary alleged that Duterte gave out cash gifts worth ₱50 thousand monthly;[213] later on, another former official also came forward, claiming that they received similar envelopes but had stopped by later 2023, around the same time the issue of confidential funds was raised.Several lawmakers have expressed their doubts on the authenticity of the receipts, highlighting irregularities such as uncommon and allegedly fictitious names as well as discrepancies in the dates and signatures.[219] On December 2, 2024, an impeachment complaint was filed in the House of Representatives against Duterte for 24 offenses including failure to account for her spending of confidential funds, involvement in extrajudicial killings and threatening the assassination of President Marcos and Romualdez.[239] Duterte has expressed support for religious leader and her father's ally, Apollo Quiboloy, who had been indicted by the FBI and is the subject of various probes by the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives over allegations of sexual abuse and human trafficking, among other things.[2] Manases, a nephew of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales and Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,[256][257] is a legal counsel for Lapanday Foods Corporation.[77] In October 2015, to convince her father to run for president in the 2016 Philippine presidential elections despite his reluctance due to lack of campaign funds and political machinery, she shaved her head.These allegations surfaced after Duterte thanked President Marcos and the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing in a Facebook post for ensuring that she could be at home in time with her children "wherever she may be found in the country".
