The National Bureau of Investigation is looking into a businessman's reported connections to the Duterte family, Inquirer.net reports. The inquiry also covers properties linked to the family, according to Philstar.com.
SunStar Publishing Inc. reports that the NBI is examining discrepancies in real estate holdings associated with Vice President Sara Duterte. The Manila Times reports that prosecutors plan to review the properties flagged by the NBI.
The probe unfolds alongside a separate political fight. Manila Bulletin reports that the Vice President has described the impeachment case against her as weakening and has alleged that the attacks on her are connected to the 2028 elections.
The reports do not specify the businessman's identity, the exact properties under scrutiny, or the current stage of the NBI's work. No findings have been announced, and no charges have been reported in connection with the inquiry.
What to watch next: whether the NBI releases details of its findings and whether prosecutors act on the flagged properties.
