“They did not narrate  encounter between  parties in their respective affidavits… they also did not discuss  behavior of police-doctor after the incident, could have persuaded us that he was threatened and intimidated, if at all,” the resolution read,  Quezon City prosecutor has dismissed complaints filed by police against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio and her security and protection group over scuffle involving Duterte’s chief of staff at medical facilities in November 2024.

In  resolution dated Jan. 17, 2025, Assistant City Prosecutor Criscelyn Caryugan-Lugo dropped charges of direct assault, disobedience to authority, and grave coercion against Duterte, Col. Raymund Lachica and others, citing “failure to sustain  finding of prima facie evidence with reasonable certainty of conviction.”

Case was filed by officers from  Quezon City Police District following commotion at  House of Representatives and  Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) during  transfer of Duterte’s chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez.

Complainants  alleged that Lachica, head of  Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group, physically pushed and assaulted  police doctor assigned to assist Lopez during her transfer to VMMC.

However, prosecutor stated that allegations against Lachica were “not supported by evidence,” as none of  witnesses corroborated  police doctor’s claims of being subjected to “attack, physical force, intimidation, resistance, disobedience, violence, or threats.”

“Video footage submitted by him also negates his own asseverations…being so, we are constrained to dismiss complaint for insufficiency of evidence,” it stressed.

Lopez was transferred to  VMMC after falling ill, following  House of Representatives Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability’s order for her detention at  Women’s Correctional Institution in Mandaluyong City.

She was cited in contempt for “undue interference” during  House panel’s investigation into alleged misuse of P500 million in confidential funds by Office of the Vice President and P112.5 million by  Department of Education.

On Dec. 10, 2024, the House panel ordered Zuleika’s release from custody.
