Sotto, Tulfo shut down ‘ex-marines’ claims

Senators Vicente Sotto III and Erwin Tulfo have firmly refuted allegations from a group of 18 self-proclaimed ex-marines who claimed to have delivered cash-filled suitcases to them. The ex-marines, allegedly hired by former congressman Zaldy Co, made these accusations during a probe led by Senator Rodante. Sotto and Tulfo's denials are significant as they underscore the ongoing scrutiny of political funding and the need for transparency in campaign financing. This incident highlights the importance of maintaining integrity in public office amidst allegations of illicit financial practices.
