Vice President Sara Duterte visited Senator Rodante Marcoleta at the Philippine National Police General Hospital (PNPGH) in Quezon City on July 7, 2026.

The visit followed Marcoleta's arrest earlier that week after the Sandiganbayan Third Division issued a warrant for his detention over a P75-million plunder case linked to an undeclared campaign donation he received during his 2025 senatorial bid.The Office of the Ombudsman filed the case against Marcoleta, who is currently undergoing laboratory tests at the PNPGH.

While the Philippine National Police (PNP) did not provide additional details about Duterte's visit, reports indicated that PNP public information chief Police Colonel Allan Rae Co was also present during the meeting.

The incident highlights ongoing legal challenges faced by prominent political figures in the Philippines, particularly regarding allegations of corruption and misuse of public funds.

Marcoleta's arrest underscores the government's efforts to address graft within its institutions, though details about the Vice President's role in the visit remain unclear.The case has sparked discussions about accountability in Philippine politics and the intersection of law enforcement with high-profile legal matters.
