菲律宾监察专员办公室已请求桑迪甘巴扬反贪法庭禁止参议员罗丹特·马可莱塔（Rodante Marcoleta）、前众议员迈克·德芬索（Mike Defensor）及另外两人出境，此前他们因涉及7500万比索的竞选捐款而被指控犯有掠夺罪及相关罪名。
除马可莱塔和德芬索外，监察专员还请求桑迪甘巴扬反贪法庭通过预防性限制出境令，限制亚里士多德·巴卢尤特·维拉伊（Aristotle Baluyut Viray）和约瑟夫·瓦里亚斯·埃斯皮里图（Joseph Varias Espiritu）出境。该单方面申请已被分配至该反贪法庭的第七分庭审理。
监察专员建议以违反第7080号共和国法案（即掠夺法）、第46号总统令（禁止公职人员收受礼品）以及间接收受贿赂等罪名起诉马可莱塔。调查人员称，涉案金额已超过了掠夺罪5000万比索的起诉门槛，且未在其资产负债及净值申报表（SALN）中申报。
在一次特权演说中，马可莱塔表示，他相信马科斯政府可能会通过将他关进监狱来压制异见。他称：“他们可以监禁我，可以逮捕我，但我告诉他们，他们依然不会赢。”德芬索则表示有信心他们最终会洗清嫌疑。
