Sandro Marcos calls 18 men's accusations all BS

House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos said the claims of 18 self-styled bagmen that he received suitcases of cash are all BS.

House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos said in an interview that he does not dignify the testimonies of those he called fake Marines, now referred to only as bodyguards.

He noted that after Sen. Francis Escudero joined the majority the senator was suddenly included in the list of people who allegedly received suitcases of cash from the 18.

University of the Philippines College of Law associate dean Paolo Emmanuel Tamase said the inconsistencies in the statements of the 18 are questionable in court because of shifting testimony that seems to depend on the wind.
