During a session at the Sandiganbayan on Thursday, a witness testified that Senator Rodante Marcoleta reportedly requested 20 million pesos from businessman Aristotle Viray. This allegation emerged during a plunder investigation involving a total of 75 million pesos in funds. Maria Melinda Mananghaya-Henson, an official from the Office of the Ombudsman’s Field Investigation Bureau who spearheaded the fact-finding mission, provided this testimony to the court. The proceedings are part of a broader legal examination into the alleged misappropriation of public resources, with the witness detailing the specific financial interactions between the senator and the donor involved in the case.
