In the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, NBI Director Melvin Matibag testified that the investigation involves grave threats and incitement to sedition, requiring coordination with multiple agencies including the Presidential Security Command, military groups, and the National Security Council through the Office of the Executive Secretary, though the court should remain passive and receive evidence through proper channels.

>> How long have you had this interagency task force and is there such a name of a task force? Where was it?
Was there a terminal report? And would you consider it Uh you've always said it's a national security concern.
>> Well, there's no specific task force, but the coordination as I said is to the executive secretary, but we are also coordinating with the presidential security command and on the military group.
>> Mr. presiding officer, would the reports of the interagency task force be given to the body so that we have an idea of the of the investigations conducted by the NBI. Has it been submitted?
>> Let the presiding officer make a distinction. Again, the court should be a passive body. We should be receiving evidence through the >> Through the prosecutor or the defense >> Through the council of the parties.
Unless someone would present it, the court should simply await its submission if at all through the parties.
>> So my question would be was this submitted as part of your evidence? The terminal report and the investigations conducted by this interagency body because it's the first time I'm actually realizing that there was such an interagency body and that this was actually discussed in the national security council.
