Duterte appeared before the court to post bail following allegations that she issued grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez. The arrest warrant was issued Friday as the legal dispute between the Vice President and the administration escalated. The P360,000 bail amount was set by the court handling the case at a Quezon City branch. Duterte's posting of bail allows her to remain free while the charges against her proceed through the judicial system. The incident marks a significant development in the ongoing tensions between the Vice President and President Marcos's administration.
