  • Paul Lawrence Lim, one of her attorneys, said court staff took Duterte's fingerprints and she posted 360,000 pesos bail ($5,740) for three counts of grave threats. After the arrest order was issued Friday, he said Duterte would fight the charges. "She has no intention of evading the law and will continue to exercise all her legal remedies," he said in a statement.

What happened, for context

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte posted bail on Saturday, 4 September 2024, after an arrest warrant was issued the previous day on charges of grave threats. The charges stem from remarks she made during a 2024 online news conference in which she stated she had arranged for an assassin to kill President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and then-House Speaker Martin Romualdez if she herself was killed. Duterte denied the allegations, characterizing her remarks as expressions of fear for her own safety.
