Vice President Sara Duterte took legal action again on Monday, filing a second perjury complaint against Ramil Madriaga at the Taguig City Prosecutor’s Office.

Madriaga had previously testified before the House Committee on Justice, making allegations that question Duterte's integrity regarding her political and financial dealings.

Background of the Legal Dispute

Duterte's earlier complaint addressed Madriaga's claims that her 2022 campaign was financed by drug dealers and Philippine offshore gaming operators.

In her latest filing, Duterte was accompanied by her attorney Paolo Panelo, emphasizing her commitment to clear her name.

  • First perjury complaint filed over campaign financing allegations.
  • Madriaga's testimony linked to impeachment proceedings.

This ongoing conflict reflects a broader trend in Philippine politics, where accusations and legal disputes often become intertwined with personal and political rivalries.
