Escudero faces graft complaint over P352-M Sorsogon funds
The Philippine Star
|November 15, 2025
A lawyer has filed a complaint before the Office of the Ombudsman against Sen. Francis Escudero and several officials of Sorsogon over the alleged misuse of the provincial government's funds in 2021 amounting to P352 million, during Escudero’s term as governor.
In a 51-page complaint filed yesterday, lawyer Eldridge Marvin Aceron urged the ombudsman to investigate Escudero and several Sorsogon provincial officials for violation of Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, technical malversation under Article 220 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), falsification of public documents under Article 171 of the RPC and fraud against public treasury under Article 213 of the RPC.
Aceron said Escudero and the other respondents must also be held liable for administrative offenses of grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and dishonesty.
