Lawmakers in the House of Representatives filed a resolution Wednesday seeking an investigation into the alleged Philippine-based operations and connections of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
House Assistant Minority Leader Sarah Elago of the Gabriela Women’s Party, alongside members of the Makabayan Bloc, introduced House Resolution 762 to uncover the extent of reported activities involving local individuals and firms allegedly engaged by Epstein and his associates.
The resolution cites email exchanges from the so-called “Epstein Files” indicating that a Philippine-based team was hired to perform backend digital work and “reputation management” services.
These services were reportedly aimed at improving Epstein’s public image following his initial conviction.
“Any indication that Philippine-based individuals or firms may have been used to shield or assist a known international sex offender demands serious scrutiny,” the resolution stated.
