The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) chief, Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III faced intense questioning regarding former President Rodrigo Duterte’s arrest and the barred visit of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Lawmakers grilled Torre over the circumstances surrounding Duterte’s arrest, seeking clarity on the events that transpired. Torre’s responses were met with skepticism, as some lawmakers questioned the PNP’s handling of the situation.
In a related development, Vice President Sara Duterte was barred from visiting her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is currently detained. This move has sparked controversy, with some questioning the motives behind the decision.
The PNP-CIDG has also been investigating Vice President Sara Duterte’s alleged threat against President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. The investigation is ongoing, with the CIDG considering the possibility of interviewing the Vice President.
