Groups have urged the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to investigate Sen. Rodante Marcoleta’s campaign spending during the 2025 elections following his admission of receiving undisclosed contributions.
Kontra Daya and Advocates for Public Interest Law said Marcoleta declared “zero” donations in his Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE) despite publicly acknowledging receipt of campaign funds.
The groups warned that the concealed donations may violate tax laws, including donor’s tax rules, and any funds used personally could be treated as taxable income.
They stressed that failure to report such income undermines tax compliance and called on the BIR to exercise its investigatory authority.
The Commission on Elections is also set to issue a resolution on discrepancies in Marcoleta’s SOCE, which reported P139.9 million in spending but no contributions.
