Vice President Sara Duterte intervened in a House committee’s order to transfer her detained chief-of-staff, Zuleika Lopez, to Mandaluyong’s Correctional Institute for Women. VP Duterte claimed legal counsel status, physically blocking the transfer and allegedly violating House protocols. Lopez was cited for contempt due to interference in a probe regarding confidential funds misuse. Manila Rep. Joel Chua supported the transfer, citing security concerns. The committee plans to enforce the transfer after Lopez’s hospital release.
