Sen. Rodante Marcoleta.
MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Rodante Marcoleta was allowed only two visitors at the Philippine National Police General Hospital (PNPGH) upon his request, the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) said on Friday, July 10.
Col. John Guiagui, CIDG Metro Manila unit director, said Marcoleta, who has remained confined at the PNPGH since his arrest on July 6, specifically requested visits from Vice President Sara Duterte and Sen. Robinhood “Robin” Padilla, aside from his legal counsel.
“So many people wanted to visit – supporters, friends, allies, and relatives – but out of all of them, only two were granted permission, Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Robin Padilla… This was a personal request from Senator Marcoleta, for those wanting to visit him, in addition to his legal counsel and attorneys,” Guiagui, speaking Filipino, said during an interview with the media at Camp Crame.
