National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Melvin Matibag says Vice President Sara Duterte has influenced some individuals who then make threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Matibag made the confirmation during the Senator-judges’ interjection period in Duterte’s impeachment trial, responding to a question from Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian. Gatchalian asked whether the NBI had spoken to anyone allegedly influenced by Duterte’s earlier threats to the president. Matibag replied that the NBI has already visited some of those individuals and has filed cases against some of them. He also indicated that there are individuals who made threats through social media. The exchange is presented in the context of the impeachment proceedings and the NBI’s actions related to the reported threats, including investigations and case filings against people linked to the alleged influence.
