Sandiganbayan

Philippine Sen. Rodante Marcoleta was arrested on plunder charges for allegedly receiving undeclared campaign contributions. He denied wrongdoing and was taken into custody at the Sandiganbayan court. His arrest follows that of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, with both linked to former President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, who faces impeachment.

A Philippine senator will surrender to authorities after a special anti-corruption court ordered his arrest on a non-bailable charge of plunder related to a flood-control project. The court had previously issued a bailable arrest warrant, which led to his initial surrender and release on bail.

Philippine Senator Jinggoy Estrada said he will surrender after a court issued a non-bailable plunder charge related to alleged kickbacks in a flood-control project.
