Summary
Sara Duterte made a surprise visit to the Philippine Senate on Tuesday and declared she would remain “bloodied but unbowed” as the second day of her trial began.
The 48-year-old vice president framed her appearance as a response to what she called a “bloodbath and bludgeoning,” signaling she would resist mounting attacks against her.
A green shirt — the campaign color she used in the 2022 election with Ferdinand Marcos Jr. — underscored the political symbolism of the appearance as proceedings continued.
