## Resource

Philippine Senator Rodante Marcoleta was arrested on plunder charges for allegedly failing to declare 75 million pesos in campaign contributions — a case echoing recent legal turmoil involving his ally, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who’s also facing charges over a flood-control project. Both are loyalists of former President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, who’s currently under impeachment proceedings. Meanwhile, Senator Ronald dela Rosa has vanished after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for alleged crimes against humanity during Duterte’s drug war — a probe that also targets Duterte himself. This wave of arrests and international scrutiny is reshaping Philippine politics and law. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
