Philippine government investigators have filed criminal complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte over her public threat to have the President assassinated if she herself was killed.

National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) director Jaime Santiago said at a news conference that the complaints against Duterte of incitement to sedition and grave threats were filed at the Department of Justice, which will decide whether to dismiss the complaints outright or elevate them to court.
