00:00A Quezon City court denies Vice President Sara Duterte's motion to inhibit the presiding judge
00:05in her grave threats case, citing lack of merit. Duterte claimed the court allegedly assisted the
00:11prosecution in establishing probable cause. Duterte's lawyer Paul Lawrence Lim says her
00:16camp has received the court's resolution denying the motion. She's facing three counts of grave
00:21threats for saying she had enlisted the hitman for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady
00:25Lisa Araneta Marcos, and then House Speaker Martin Romualdez. In August, the Justice Department
00:31said there was enough evidence to charge her with grave threats. In September, Judge Maria
00:36Angelica de Ramos found probable cause to issue a warrant and order Duterte's arrest. A grave
00:41threats case is bailable. Duterte posted bail on September 5.
