00:00An ethics complaint is filed on Thursday, October 2 against Senator Cheese Escudero over his ties to a government contractor who donated 30 million pesos to his 2022 senatorial campaign.
00:13The complaint was filed by lawyer and publisher Eldridge Marvin Aceron and cited serious concerns over the integrity of campaign finance, public procurement, and corporate transparency.
00:23In his complaint, Aceron cites Lawrence Lubiano's 91% ownership of Metroways Healthcare and Medical System, Inc., which bagged government contracts in the Bicol region.
00:35Escudero earlier confirmed Lubiano is his friend but denied any involvement in awarding contracts to him.
00:41He also alleges the ethics complaint stemmed from his privileged speech on September 29, where he named former House Speaker Martin Romualdez as the one behind a quote-unquote script to implicate senators in the flood control controversy.
