All attendees, members of the media included, present at Vice President Sara Duterte’s early morning virtual press conference on November 23 may also be issued subpoenas by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
In a press briefing on Tuesday, November 26, NBI Director Jaime Santiago said his agency has identified everyone in the press conference, and confirmed many are from the media.
“We have the list at identified namin kung sino ‘yung mga present during the presscon ni VP Sara (and have identified who were present during the presscon of VP Sara),” he said.
Santiago however assured that they will only be summoned to gather evidence of the conference actually having transpired.
“Hindi naman porket andon ka ay may kasalanan ka rin,” he told reporters.
(Just because you were there, doesn’t mean you’re guilty.)
When asked whether Duterte’s staff are among the individuals to be summoned, he responded that everyone in the video call has been listed.
