The warrant against Duterte, 48, set the bail at 120,000 pesos ($1,900) for each of the three counts against her.
Duterte has been charged with threatening the lives of Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and his cousin, former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
“I already talked to someone—I told him, If I’m killed, kill [Marcos], Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez,” she said in Filipino, “No joke, no joke. I already gave orders. If I die, I told them, ‘Don’t stop until they’re dead.’ And then he said, ‘Yes.’”
The Vice President is currently standing trial at the Philippine Senate, serving as an impeachment court, following her second impeachment in May. If convicted in the impeachment court, she could be removed from office and barred from running in the 2028 national elections, where she said she plans to contest the presidency.
Duterte controversies and public standing
Duterte is the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is awaiting trial before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, for the thousands of deaths attributed to his violent anti-drug campaign.
The presidential office said in a statement that it “respects the decision of the court” to issue an arrest warrant.
However, Franco says it remains unclear which political camp—if any—will benefit from the latest political development. “We don't know what will happen because it's still 1-½ years [until the elections] and that's a lifetime in Philippine politics.”
