The Philippine Star
|October 15, 2025
Sen. Francis Escudero, through his counsel, defended the P30-million donation he received from a top flood control contractor for his 2022 Senate comeback bid.
Escudero submitted his response to the show-cause order issued against him by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) investigating the propriety of receiving a contractor's money for his campaign.
“We're filing our submission early to respect Escudero the Comelec process. Our position is clear: the donation was legal, fully declared and follows long-standing practice," Escudero's legal counsel Ramon Esguerra said.
