The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Sunday said that it would not provide Vice President Sara Duterte with a list of questions to be asked during her investigation.
The NBI launched a probe into the death threats allegedly made by VP Sara against Philippine leaders. However, Duterte requested to reschedule her summons.
“Ay, hindi po. Hindi po kami nagbibigay talaga ng mga questions,” NBI director Jaime Santiago clarified in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.
Santiago explained that the NBI will ask the Vice President about the person she allegedly hired to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Lisa Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
“Kaya ‘yun, ‘yung few questions na ‘yun, alam naman niya na ‘yun ang itatanong—bakit nasabi na nakapagbanta siya nang ganun, bakit may kinausap siyang tao, ‘yun ‘yung usual. Pero ‘yung other questions pa ay hindi na namin maibibigay,” Santiago said.
“Iyun namang threat niya kay Presidente BBM… considered namin nag-waive siya sa right niya na ma-express ang kanyang reason, justification, whatever, bakit siya nag threat kay Presidente, First Lady, at Speaker of the House,” he added.
While Duterte asked to reschedule the probe, she also requested a clear copy of the complaint filed against her, as well as documents related to the investigation, including the list of questions the NBI intends to ask her.
