The camp of Vice President Sara Duterte asks the Quezon City Regional Trial Court (QC RTC) to allow oral arguments as part of its effort to dismiss a grave threats case filed against her. The move is tied to a motion to quash Duterte filed in connection with the case, according to reports.
The dispute comes after the Department of Justice (DOJ) files charges alleging three counts of grave threats against Duterte. The VP camp says it intends to file a manifestation requesting oral arguments, framing the request as a procedural step in pursuing dismissal rather than as a direct merits challenge. The reports focus on the court request and the timing following the DOJ complaint, rather than on specific facts behind the allegations.
Across the two outlets, the core points remain consistent: the DOJ complaint exists, the VP camp has a pending motion to quash, and it now seeks oral arguments before the QC RTC.
