00:00The Sandigan Bayan approves the ombudsman's request and issues a precautionary whole departure order against Senator Rodante Marcoleta.
00:08The PHDO also includes former lawmaker Mike Defensor and two other respondents over their pending plunder complaint.
00:15Marcoleta, Defensor Aristotel Viray, and Joseph Espiritu are facing a complaint for plunder, indirect bribery, and alleged violation of a
00:23presidential decree on receiving gifts.
00:25A PHDO may be sought when a complaint is at the preliminary investigation stage, which is when prosecutors are deciding
00:32whether or not to file a case against the respondent.
00:35Marcoleta earlier declared he received no contributions for his 2025 electoral campaign but spent P112 million on it.
00:42His declared net worth was only P51 million.
00:45He later admitted he received P75 million in campaign donations but did not declare it because it came in before
00:52the campaign period.
