Ombudsman seeks travel ban vs Marcoleta, Defensor amid plunder complaint

MANILA, Philippines – The Office of the Ombudsman has asked the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan to issue a precautionary hold departure order (PHDO) against Senator Rodante Marcoleta and three others over their pending plunder complaint related to Marcoleta’s campaign donations.
Apart from Marcoleta, his fellow respondents listed on the PHDO request are:
- former lawmaker Mike Defensor
- Aristotle Viray
- Joseph Espiritu
They are facing a complaint for plunder, indirect bribery, and receiving gifts under Presidential Decree No. 46.
A PHDO is sought when the complaint is at the preliminary investigation stage — meaning it has yet to be filed with the courts. When granted, a PHDO may bar a person’s travel overseas.
Marcoleta, who placed sixth in the 2025 senatorial elections, declared no poll contributions. However, he later confirmed he received P75 million in campaign donations, but that he got the money before the start of the senatorial campaign period.
The senator explained that he did not include the amount in his Statement of Contributions and Expenditures because he was not yet a candidate when he received it.
In a statement on Monday, May 25, Marcoleta said the filing of the criminal complaint was “perfectly timed, wrapped in legal language, amplified by noise, and aimed not merely at my person, but at my independence.”
“If the intention of these cases is to silence me, let me say this at the very beginning: It has failed. I will not be silenced,” he said.
“A complaint without evidence of public injury, official favor, corrupt consideration, or abuse of office is not accountability. It is machinery. It is pressure. It is a warning shot fired at those who refuse to kneel.” – Rappler.com

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October
The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets. The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
