AI Summary:
Philippine government investigators file criminal complaints against Sara Duterte. The vice president has accused her rivals of taking steps to prevent her from seeking the presidency. She ran as Marcos Jr.'s vice presidential running mate in 2022. The vice president has vaguely denied that what she said amounted to a threat against Marcos, his wife and Romualdez, the president’s cousin. But her remarks still sparked a national security alarm at the time.
