The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports that Malacañang, through press officer Claire Castro, has asked Vice President Sara Duterte to provide evidence supporting her recent claims of feeling unsafe. Duterte raised these concerns during a bail posting appearance at the Quezon City Hall of Justice, expressing distrust in the police, courts, and security personnel. Castro stated that there are no records, reports, or complaints regarding threats against Duterte’s life, citing statements from Philippine National Police General Jose Melencio Nartatez and National Bureau of Investigation Director Melvin Matibag. She emphasized that the government provides security to all citizens, including Duterte, and urged the public not to lose faith in the justice system. Duterte’s brother, Rep. Paolo Duterte, also voiced similar concerns on social media, though Castro noted that such claims lack substantiation.
