00:008 of the 13 Senators in Mayoria are looking at the case, reclame or investigation.
00:06One of them is Sen. Rodante Marcoleta,
00:08who was a precautionary hold departure order of the Ombudsman in the Sandigan Bayan
00:13in the case of the plunder and indirect bribery.
00:17The answer is Marcoleta in Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:23Dahil sa pagtanggap umano ng 75 milyong piso mula sa tatlong donor noong January 2025,
00:31sinampana reklamong plunder at indirect bribery si Sen. Rodante Marcoleta sa Office of the Ombudsman.
00:38Batay raw ito sa mismong pag-amin niya sa investigasyon noon ng COMELEC.
00:43Humiling ang Ombudsman sa Sandigan Bayan na maglabas ng precautionary hold departure order
00:50laban kay Marcoleta, gayon din kinadating congressman Mike Defensor
00:54at mga negosyanteng sina Joseph Espiritu at Aristotel Viray.
00:59Sinusubukan pa naming makuha ang kanilang panig.
01:03Sa kanyang privilege speech, sinabi ni Marcoleta na ang investigasyon ng Ombudsman
01:08ay paraan para patahimikin siya umano tungkol sa anomalya sa flood control
01:13at sa nalalapit na impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:20Shadow of a complaint filed by the Field Investigation Bureau,
01:24Office of the Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon.
01:27The trump-up charges filed against me and some of my friends
01:30are not merely legal accusations.
01:33They form part of a deeper and more nefarious design
01:36to intimidate independent voices,
01:39to punish dissent and to warn every senator
01:43that the price of asking hard questions could lead to personal damnation.
01:49If the intention of these cases is to silence me,
01:54let me say this at the very beginning.
01:56It has failed.
01:58I will not be silenced.
02:00Ayon sa Field Investigation Bureau ng Office of the Ombudsman,
02:05sa laki ng halagang 75 million pesos,
02:08hindi raw ito maituturing na ordinaryong kagandahang loob,
02:12kundi korupsyon para makakuha ng pabor mula kay Marcoleta.
02:16Batay sa investigasyon,
02:18hindi niya umano idiniklar ang halaga
02:20sa kanyang statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth
02:23para sa taong 2025.
02:26Sasagot daw si Marcoleta sa tamang forum.
02:29Nagpasaring din siya sa ombudsman.
02:31Somebody said,
02:33sometimes you need to bend the law
02:36to be able to please the people.
02:39Am I right, Mr. Secretary Romilia?
02:43Secretary Romilia, then Secretary of Justice,
02:46now ombudsman, said loudly,
02:50Yes, sir.
02:51So pwede na nang baluktutin lahat,
02:54kagaya ng pambabaluktot na ginawa nila.
02:57Pero sinasabi ko, Madam President,
03:01they can imprison me, they can arrest me,
03:05but I tell them, they still will not win.
03:08Itaga nila yun sa Bato.
03:10Kasama si Marcoleta,
03:128 sa 13 majority senators
