Arresting a sitting vice president is a blatant constitutional violation — no legal gymnastics can justify stripping an incumbent official of immunity from criminal prosecution. This isn't justice; it's political persecution dressed up in legal clothing. Every Filipino should be outraged that the rule of law is being twisted to silence and remove a duly elected leader.
An arrest warrant for VP Sara Duterte proves that no title or political clout puts anyone beyond accountability. Traveling abroad and lawyering up doesn't erase grave threats — due process exists for everyone, including the vice president. The law doesn't bend for rank or privilege, and facing charges is exactly what accountability looks like in a functioning democracy.
