A top Department of Justice official called out Vice President Sara Duterte’s taunting attitude towards the country’s justice system and her apparent predisposition to taking justice into her own hands after she refused to attend another appointment at the National Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday.
Andres stressed that the DOJ is committed to evaluating the Vice President’s case fairly, and it is unfortunate that she refuses to contribute to her possible exoneration by rebuffing the NBI’s subpoena. The Vice President also said that the meeting coincided with a previously scheduled thanksgiving activity at the Office of the Vice President.
“When we enter into a preliminary investigation, it is essential that she give a sworn statement so that the statements will be accountable because any statement given under oath which is false is punishable also for perjury and other criminal offenses,” Andres explained in a mixture of Filipino and English
