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.
