The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is issuing subpoenas to campaign contributors of Senators Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Rodante Marcoleta, with Chairperson George Erwin Garcia stating the need for preliminary investigations. Contributors who fail to disclose their donations could face election offense charges, carrying a penalty of one to six years imprisonment under the Omnibus Election Code, a provision not amended for donors as it was for candidates. While Comelec previously dismissed a complaint against Marcoleta for insufficient evidence regarding undisclosed donors, and cleared Escudero in a separate case, Escudero faces a new investigation.
