Senator Erwin Tulfo files complaints for grave oral defamation against Jeron Valderama and Bernard Gumban, who claimed to be former bodyguards of former Ako Bicol representative Zaldy Co, as well as lawyer Levito Baligod, former lawmaker Mike Defensor, Quezon City Councilor Ranulfo Ludovica, and lawyer Virgilio Garcia before the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor's Office on Wednesday, July 8.
The complaints stem from allegations made on June 16 linking Tulfo to a suitcase of cash linked to flood control anomalies. Photos by Rappler
🚨LOOKING BACK AT WHY ATTY. VIRGIL LIGUTAN JOINED THE PROSECUTION TEAM FOR THIS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL:
: “What really motivated me to join the private prosecution team is the story of a school principal who was ordered imprisoned for 11 years for pocketing ₱5,000.”
: “If we can send someone to jail for 11 years over ₱5,000, why can’t we remove from office a sitting vice president for allegedly misusing millions of pesos in public funds?”
