Marcoleta was among the congressmen who favored denying a new franchise for ABS-CBN in July last year. He also led the distribution of ivermectin together with Anakalusugan Rep. Mike Defensor in Quezon City in April, despite repeated reminders from health authorities that the antiparasitic drug is still not recommended for COVID-19 treatment.
