Vice President Sara Duterte’s legal team is requesting oral arguments regarding the motion to dismiss the grave threats case filed against her. They argue the case has potentially significant implications, extending even to the President of the Philippines. The lawyers emphasize the “far-reaching consequences” should the complaint proceed. They believe a thorough examination of the case’s merits is crucial due to its potential impact on the executive branch. The defense contends the complaint lacks sufficient evidence and warrants dismissal. The request for oral arguments aims to provide a platform for a detailed legal debate, preventing potential complications for the presidency. A decision on the request will determine the next steps in the legal proceedings.
