Vice President Sara Duterte’s chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, visits the Senate a day after the impeachment court grants a subpoena for her appearance at the Vice President’s trial. According to Rappler and Inquirer.net, Lopez’s Senate visit occurs shortly after the impeachment court ruling and follows the House prosecution panel’s listing of Lopez as a witness. The House prosecution panel cites her testimony in relation to allegations that Duterte made assassination threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former Speaker Martin Romualdez. During her encounter with reporters at the Senate, Lopez does not answer questions when approached, but she instead says, “Prepare for Typhoon Inday,” referring to a typhoon named “Inday,” which is currently discussed in public advisories. Multiple outlets report that this remark is made unprompted as she responds to media questions. The articles present Lopez’s statement in the context of her impending participation in the impeachment proceedings, but they do not provide additional information linking the comment to specific actions or decisions by any party.
