Vice President Sara Duterte went to the House of Representatives Thursday night to visit her chief-of-staff, Zuleika Lopez, who is detained at the House of Representatives. She stayed at the office of her brother, Davao Rep. Paolo Duterte, House Secretary General Reginald Velasco said Friday.
“We received a request from the Vice President and we granted it. Her security and advance party were the first to arrive, followed by the Vice President. She was here before 8 p.m.,” he added. “She coordinated with us and we provided additional security on top of her security, alerted the nearby Batasan police precinct here and even Quezon City police, in case there are disturbances,” he added.
The committee, chaired by Manila Rep. Joel Chua, approved a motion by Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro to cite Lopez for contempt, citing her violation of Section 11 of the House Rules of Procedure Governing Inquiries in Aid of Legislation.
