Atty. Levito Baligod at mga kasama, handa raw dumalo sa pagdinig ng Senate Blue Ribbon Committee pero sana raw mag inhibit si Sen Erwin Tulfo na kabilang sa inakusahan na tumanggap umano ng maleta. @gmanews
‘LABINGWALONG KARGADOR’
Senator Raffy Tulfo called the 18 “ex-Marines” who testified in the hearing last week as “kargador.”
“Let me call on them, labingwalong kargador. Kasi nga po nagkakarga sila ng mga male-maletang pera sabi nga nila. ‘Yun nga po ang trabaho nila, magbitbit, magkarga ng maleta,” he said on Monday. (Screenshots/Senate)

‘AYAW PO NILANG BUMABA DITO’
Senator Erwin Tulfo said that the 18 “ex-bodyguards” are in the Senate premises but refuse to attend the Blue Ribbon Committee meeting on Monday.
“‘Yung labingwalong ex-bodyguards narito po sa building na ito, nasa tanggapan po ni Senator Robin Padilla… Despite po ‘yung ating imbitasyon sa kanila na dumalo sa hearing, mas minabuti po nilang magtungo sa opisina ni Senator Robin Padilla at doon po ika nga mag-monitor,” he said.

WATCH: Levi Baligod, lawyer of the 18 self-confessed bagmen, calls on Senator Erwin Tulfo to forego presiding duties in the flood control hearing.
Baligod said his clients may be cited in contempt with Tulfo as chairperson since the senator is among those accused of receiving kickbacks — an allegation Tulfo has denied.
Baligod said his clients will attend the hearing after a press conference inside Senator Robin Padilla’s office. | @eimorpsantos

Pinuna ng political commentator-content creator na si Atty. Race Del Rosario ang naging paraan ng pagtatanong ni Senator Rodante Marcoleta sa pagdinig ng Blue Ribbon Committee ngayong Huwebes, Hunyo 4, kaugnay ng flood control projects scandal.
Puna ni Del Rosario, mistulang mas alam pa umano ni Marcoleta ang mga dapat na sabihin ng 18 nagpakilalang dating miyembro ng Philippine Marines kaysa mga ito.

We MUST ensure that no Cayetanos, Villars, Padillas, Marcoletas, Marcoses, and Legardas will win in the 2028 elections.
We have seen firsthand how political dynasties stunt our political development, deprive us of any meaningful change.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. HINDI NA PWEDE ‘TO.
'PASENSIYA NA PO KUNG AKO’Y NAKAPAGSALITA NG GANO’N'
Senator Rodante Marcoleta apologized on Thursday after drawing criticism for describing members of the Senate media as “bayaran,” clarifying that he did not intend to insult journalists and saying the remark was made out of frustration over recent developments in the chamber.
During his opening statement at a hearing on the alleged flood control scandal today, June 4, 2026, Marcoleta made a remark against the media, claiming that they failed to question other senators on why they remained silent on the controversy.
“Pasensya na po kung ako’y nakapagsalita nang gano’n. I did not mean it. Ito po ay dahil sa frustration ko sa nangyari at nangyayari,” he said during a press conference with Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
