00:00A Cason City Regional Trial Court issues a warrant of arrest against Vice President Sara Duterte for her grave threats
00:07case.
00:08Duterte's lawyer Paul Lawrence Lim confirms this.
00:11Lim says regardless of the question on jurisdiction, she has no intention of evading the law and will continue to
00:17exercise all her legal remedies.
00:20Grave threat is available offense.
00:22In August, the Justice Department filed three counts of grave threats against Duterte over her alleged assassination threats against President
00:29Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family.
00:31Department of Justice spokesperson Rafael Martinez says the court set the bail at 120,000 pesos for each count of
00:38grave threat.
00:39In a statement, he also announces the Quezon City RTC Branch 98 denies Duterte's motion to defer or recall the
00:46warrants.
00:47The Vice President's camp also sought oral hearings arguing that Duterte cannot face a criminal case because she is an
00:54impeachable official.
00:55These grave threats allegations are also part of the four articles of impeachment against Duterte in her ongoing impeachment trial.
