NBI says no monitored threats against Vice President Duterte
The National Bureau of Investigation has found no credible threats to Vice President Sara Duterte's safety, according to the agency's director. The statement comes days after Duterte publicly expressed concerns about her personal security.

Manila — National Bureau of Investigation Director Melvin Matibag said Monday that the agency has not detected any monitored threats against the life of Vice President Sara Duterte. Matibag made the statement following Duterte's public remarks on Saturday, in which she claimed she "does not feel safe" and expressed fears for her personal security amid an ongoing arrest warrant.
The Vice President's safety concerns have intensified amid escalating political tensions in the country. Duterte's statements about her security situation have drawn public attention and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the arrest warrant and the broader political environment.
The NBI director's confirmation that no specific threats have been detected by law enforcement does not address the underlying concerns raised by Duterte regarding her personal circumstances. The agency's position reflects an apparent gap between the Vice President's stated security worries and what investigators have documented through their monitoring operations.
