The complaint, submitted by at least 74 activists, accuses Duterte of illegal use and mishandling of government funds, further escalating tensions within the nation's top political circles.
The daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Sara, who is a lawyer, is being scrutinized over her alleged misuse of 612.5 million pesos in confidential funds.
