Philippine VPposts bail after arrest order

MANILA: Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte posted bail on ​Saturday after a trial court ​ordered her arrest on three counts of grave threats linked to comments she made about President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the first lady and a former House speaker.
Dressed in black ‌and surrounded by dozens of police officers, Duterte told ​reporters outside the court ⁠that she did not feel safe and accused authorities of harassment, saying ​the case involved the president, the first ‌lady, and Marcos' cousin, heightening her fears. 'If I post bail, the harassment won’t stop. If I don’t post bail, I’ll be taken to ​the police. I have no trust in the police; I have no trust in the courts. I do not feel safe at all,' Duterte said. She asked who would be held accountable 'if I die tonight,” saying police would simply 'wash their hands and call it an accident.”
The police accorded the vice-president the ‌respect she deserved, Interior Minister Jonvic Remulla said when asked to comment on Duterte’s remarks. 'It's very ​unfortunate that all the pressure in her life is affecting her perception,” Remulla said in a phone ​message. — Reuters
