前议员Zaldy Co的18名涉嫌“跑腿”人员坚持其主张，称参议员Mark Villar和Francis Escudero曾收受装有非法资金的行李箱。
在参议员Robinhood Padilla办公室举行的新闻发布会上，他们的律师Levito Baligod宣读了宣誓书，指出他们在2022年曾向位于拉斯皮尼亚斯市Daanghari区Portofino South的Villar住所运送了七个中型行李箱。他们还提供了Escudero住所的照片作为证据。Baligod表示，该团队愿意面对参议院蓝带委员会，但因该委员会主席是他们曾指控卷入此事的参议员Erwin Tulfo而感到担忧。在6月4日的听证会上，他们未提及向Villar和Escudero运送钱财一事，因为当时参议员们并未询问相关情况。这些人已前往司法部继续接受初步调查。Baligod表示，监察专员公署已就与他们宣誓书相关的后续听证会事宜与他们进行了联系。
