Escudero slaps ‘abusive’ lawyer with disbarment raps
Senator Chiz Escudero has filed a disbarment complaint against lawyer Jesus Falcis III for allegedly posting malicious and defamatory remarks against him on social media.
Falcis' social media posts, spanning from July to September, criticized Escudero's actions concerning the national budget and controversial flood control projects.
The lawyer reportedly called Escudero 'the worst Senate president in history,' 'sinungaling (liar),' and 'bulok na keso (rotten cheese).'
Falcis also questioned the wealth of Escudero's wife, actress Heart Evangelista, particularly her ability to finance her lavish lifestyle without being a top taxpayer.
The lawyer suggested that Evangelista's spending might be financed by her husband, linking Escudero to a flood control contractor who was a top donor in his 2022 Statement of Contributions and Expenditures.
