MANILA, Philippines — The 18 alleged former Marines reiterated their accusations that lawmakers, including Senators Tito Sotto III and Erwin Tulfo, received money from the office of former Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co.
Joined by their legal counsel, Atty. Levi Baligod, the supposed former Marines, who claimed they were hired as Co’s “bagmen,” repeated the contents of their affidavits before the Senate blue ribbon committee led by Sen. Rodante Marcoleta.
Sotto and Tulfo were accused of receiving luggage containing money.
Former military officer Belnard Tube alleged that he and his cohorts delivered two pieces of luggage, each containing P40 million to P70 million, to a building owned by Sotto in Baclaran.
