The Philippine National Police (PNP) has declared its readiness to face potential charges from Vice President Sara Duterte over an altercation involving law enforcement officers during the transfer of her chief of staff , lawyer Zuleika Lopez, to a hospital. The PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) chief Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III stated that they welcome any legal action from Duterte, including charges of disobedience, kidnapping, and robbery.
