The legal team representing Vice President Sara Duterte has publicly questioned the impartiality of National Bureau of Investigation Director Melvin Matibag. Attorney Paul Lewrence Lim, acting as counsel for the Vice President, asserted that Matibag demonstrates clear political prejudice against his client. Furthermore, the legal representative argued that the NBI official is hindered by a significant conflict of interest while conducting an investigation into allegations previously raised against the Vice President. This development highlights the intensifying friction between Duterte’s camp and the agency currently tasked with examining the claims brought against her. The Vice President's representatives maintain that these circumstances undermine the integrity of the ongoing inquiry.
