MANILA, Philippines — Nagsampa si Senador Erwin Tulfo nitong Miyerkules ng panibagong reklamong grave oral defamation laban kay dating Anakalusugan party-list Rep. Michael Defensor, abogado na si Levi Baligod, at iba pang miyembro ng tinaguriang “18 ex-Marines” dahil sa kanilang mga akusasyon na sangkot ang senador sa maanomalyang flood control projects.

Personal na duma­ting si Tulfo sa Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office para magsampa ng grave oral defamation complaint kaugnay ng Article 358 ng Revised Penal Code in relation to Section 6 of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act of 2012 laban kina Defensor, Baligod Jeron Valderama, Bernard Gumban, Virgilio Garcia, at Konsehal Ranulfo “Rannie” Ludovica.

Ayon kay Tulfo, ang reklamo ay nag-ugat sa mga pahayag na inilabas ng mga respondent sa isang press conference noong Hunyo 16, 2026 sa Mandaluyong City, kung saan iniuugnay siya sa umano’y pagtanggap ng “maleta” o perang nagmula sa mga proyektong pinopondohan ng pamahalaan. Iginiit ng senador na walang katotohanan ang mga alegasyon at paulit-ulit na niya itong itinanggi.

Muli rin niyang iginiit na wala siyang anumang infrastructure, farm-to-market road, o flood control projects na maaaring iugnay sa kanya.
