MANILA, Philippines — A criminal and administrative complaint was filed on Friday, November against Sen. Chiz Escudero and Sorsogon officials after a 2021 Commission on Audit report that flagged possible malversation involving around P352.7 million. Escudero was the province’s governor at that time.
Private lawyer Marvin Aceron, who earlier sought a Senate ethics probe into a contractor’s campaign donation to Escudero, lodged the complaint before the Ombudsman on November 14, accusing the senator and Sorsogon officials of graft, technical malversation, falsification, fraud and grave misconduct.
