Vice President Sara Duterte asks the Supreme Court to issue or promptly resolve injunctive relief in her pending grave threats case before a Quezon City Regional Trial Court. Her camp files an urgent motion seeking the immediate resolution of her request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and/or a writ of preliminary injunction, aiming to prevent the trial court proceedings from continuing while her petition is pending.
Duterte’s request is tied to her argument that, as a sitting impeachable official, she has immunity from suit. Her motion is linked to a broader petition for certiorari and prohibition filed last month, which includes the applications for TRO and related relief. GMA News Online reports the urgent filing to secure Supreme Court action on the TRO application, while Inquirer.net highlights Duterte’s efforts to have the Supreme Court act before the Quezon City court continues handling the case.
