00:01Iglesia Ni Cristo members mass up in Quezon City in support of embattled Senator Rodante Marcoleta,
00:06who is under investigation for plunder and facing possible arrest.
00:10The rally leads to the temporary closure of White Plains Avenue in Quezon City, along EDSA, due to heavy traffic.
00:16INC spokesperson Edwil Zabala says,
00:19The Iglesia Ni Cristo supports what Senator Marcoleta stands for because it is also our position.
00:24We call for transparency, accountability, justice, and peace.
00:27This after Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulia announced Monday, June 29,
00:32his office is set to file plunder charges against Marcoleta before the Sandigan buy-in this week.
00:37Marcoleta reported spending P112 million for his 2025 senatorial run,
00:42but declared no campaign contributions in his documents filed with the Commission on Elections.
00:47The senator later acknowledged receiving P75 million in donations
00:51and alleged the funds were given before the official campaign period began.
00:54Meantime, Undersecretary Claire Castro says,
00:58President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered maximum tolerance in the protest,
01:02but warns against those who break the law.
01:04Malacanang also distances itself from the plunder case.
01:07Kasi kung mangyayari po ang goal ay binabatikos nila ang maaaring ikaso kay Sen. Marcoleta,
01:17hindi naman po ito hawak ng Pangulo.
01:20Hindi po ito hawak ng Pangulo.
01:22Ito po ngayon ay nasa Ombudsman.
01:24Hand girlfriend.
01:24Kasi kung mangyayari po ito.
01:25Iabo orong
