Rodante Marcoleta surrenders, brought to Camp Crame over P75-M plunder case
Senator Rodante Marcoleta was brought to Camp Crame on Monday morning after he surrendered amid the issuance of an arrest warrant in connection with the P75-million plunder case filed against him.
Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group chief Major General Robert Alexander Morico II arrived at the Sandiganbayan.
Marcoleta rode a Philippine National Police coaster bus, which will bring him to the CIDG office to undergo the booking process.

In an interview with reporters before leaving Sandiganbayan, the senator said he already anticipated the issuance of an arrest warrant and expressed readiness to face it.
"Pag punta ko dito inaasahan ko na lahat. Ako ay hindi magtatago, haharapin ko lahat. Kung i-serve nila ang warrant ay tatanggapin ko," he said.
Marcoleta went to the Sandiganbayan Third Division earlier in the day to attend the hearing on the P75-million plunder case filed against him over his undeclared campaign donation that the lawmaker received for his 2025 senatorial bid.
He filed several motions but the anti-grant court has already found probable cause, which resulted in the issuance of an arrest warrant. —AOL, GMA News
