The Regional Trial Court in Quezon City has officially delayed the scheduled arraignment of Vice President Sara Duterte regarding grave threat allegations. Legal representatives for the Vice President requested the postponement through a motion, the specific details of which remain confidential. Attorney Paul Lawrence Lim confirmed the suspension of the proceedings, noting that the presiding judge approved the deferment to allow time for reviewing the submitted documentation. Duterte’s legal team has been actively pursuing multiple avenues to challenge the charges, including filing a petition for certiorari and prohibition in late August. Furthermore, they have sought intervention from the Supreme Court to recall existing warrants and have submitted an urgent motion to address the ongoing legal situation. The court has not yet set a new date for the arraignment as the judicial review of these filings continues.
