How Congress's Youngest Billionaire Became Its Most Reckless Liability
THE FRANCHISE THE BOY FORGOT HE HAD!
On January 14, 2026, during an interview on Bilyonaryo News Channel's "On Point" with Pinky Webb, Batangas 1st District Representative Leandro Leviste made an admission that should haunt every member of the 17th Congress who voted to grant him a 25-year legislative franchise back in 2019.
When asked about Solar Para sa Bayan Corp. (SPBC)—the company granted extraordinary privileges by the Philippine Congress to bring electricity to the nation's remotest communities—Leviste casually dismissed it as "DEFUNCT AND NO LONGER OPERATING." He admitted it stopped operations "many years ago," estimating around four years prior. 2022?
OK, let THAT sink in for a sec. A sitting congressman just admitted on national television that a company holding a RARE 25-year congressional franchise—a legislative privilege granted by Republic Act. No. 11357, specifically to serve unserved and underserved areas nationwide—has been DEAD for four year now. And he NEVER bothered to tell Congress.
This wasn't a slip of the tongue. This was a CONFESSION of regulatory abandonment, constitutional violation[s], and what Energy Secretary Sharon Garin would later characterize as a WASTE of national asset. And it triggered a cascade of legal, financial, and political consequences that are now consuming Leviste's brief political career with the speed and thoroughness of a five-alarm fire.
Welcome to the implosion of Leandro Leviste—Yale dropout, self-proclaimed energy wunderkind, Congress's youngest billionaire, and now potentially its most spectacular cautionary tale about what happens when privilege, HUBRIS, and breathtaking legal recklessness collide.
THE PROMIL KID WHO HAD IT ALL
To understand the magnitude of Leandro Leviste's current predicament, we need to understand who he is—or at least, who he presents himself to be.
Leandro Legarda Leviste is the son of Senator Loren Legarda and former Barangas Governot Antonio Leviste. He attended Yale University as a political science sophomore, ostensibly heading to law school which didn't happen, when in 2013 at age 20 he founded Solar Philippines Power Project Holdings Inc. (SPPHI) with a $100 million bank loan.
This wasn't a small-time enterpreneurship. By 2014, SPPHI was already securing service contracts from the Department of Energy. The company's first project—a 700-kilowatt solar system on Central Mall Biñan's roof—launched in September 2014. From there, Leviste built an empire: a 63-MW solar farm in Calatagan, Batangas (later sold to Korea Electric Power Corp. for ₱2.25 billion), another farm in Tarlac (with Enrique Razon Jr.'s Prime Infrastructure investing ₱1.5 billion for 50% stake), and eventually the ambitious 500-MW Nueva Ecija project touted as Southeast Asia's largest.
In 2021, at age 28, Leviste became the youngest business founder in recent Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) history to make a company public when SP New Energy Corp. (SPNEC)—Leviste's subsidiary company—launched its IPO. By 2023, tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan's Metro Pacific Investment Corp. had invested billions in SPNEC, eventually taking controlling interest through MERALCO PowerGen Corp. (MGen) in deals worth over ₱34 billion.
Leviste was profiled as the country's youngest "self-made" billionaire. Forbes featured him. Business media celebrated his vision. He was the poster child for Filipino enterpreneurship and renewable energy innovation.
Then he ran for Congress in 2025, winning Batangas' 1st District with 75% of the vote (268,764 votes versus then-incumbent Eric Buhain's 91,588). He promised never to accept his congressional salary, He positioned himself as an anti-corruption crusader who would expose the rot in government infrastructure spending.
And THAT is when everything started unraveling.
THE ₱24 BILLION PENALTY
On January 13, 2026, Energy Secretary Sharon Garin dropped a bombshell that would [so far] define Leviste's congressional career—and potentially end it.
The Department of Energy (DOE) announced it was imposing approximately ₱24 billion in penalties on Solar Philippines Power Project Holdings Inc. (SPPHI) for failing to deliver on its commitments to produce power under more than 30 service contracts with the government.
The scale was staggering. The DOE had terminated 163 renewable energy projects across multiple companies for timeline failures. Of these, SPPHI alone accounted for 64%—representing over 11,000 megawatts of the total 17,000 MV in canceled contracts.
I will be precise about what this means: Leviste's company had committed to deliver nearly 12 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity. But it only delivered approximately 2% of that commitment, according to Secretary Garin. The remaining 98% simply NEVER materialized.
The ₱24 billion penalty breaks down as follows:
— ₱14 billion in forfeited performance bonds required under the Green Energy Auction Program (GEAP)
— ₱10 billion in contractual obligations, including the supposed cost of projects and training/development funds
Secretary Garin revealed the DOE had consistently sent notices, show-cause orders, and requests for Solar Philippines to renew bonds. The response? Complete silence. "We have not received any response from the [solar] company to the DOE regarding their performance bond that they need to pay," Garin stated.
Now, this wasn't a minor administrative oversight. This was systematic non-performance on contracts that the government had relied upon for national energy planning. The DOE had factored these 12,000 MW into supply projections, assuming the facilities would be built and operational. They weren't. And now the country faces thinner energy reserves and potentially higher electricity prices as a consequence.
THE FRANCHISE THAT NEVER WAS
The DOE penalties would have been devastating enough. But Leviste's January 14 admission to Pinky Webb opened a second, even more damaging front.
When asked about SPBC—the company granted a 25-year congressional franchise under Republic Act No. 11357 in July 2019 — Leviste revealed it had been DEFUNCT for approximately four years. He blamed "red tape" and "regulatory requirements" for making it impossible to operate. He claimed a 2022 law[?] "superseded" the 2019 franchise. He dismissed the entire matter as having "no public interest" and suggested people focus instead on his exposés of government corruption.
This is where Leviste's legal jeopardy transforms from financial penalties into potential CRIMINAL liability and constitutional violation.
THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK: WHAT RA 11357 REQUIRED
Republic Act. No. 11357, signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in July 2019, granted SPBC a 25-year non-exclusive franchise to construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain solar-powered facilities in unserved and underserved areas nationwide. The franchise specifically covered 17 provinces including Aklan, Aurora, Bohol, Batangas, Palawan, and Quezon Prov, among others.
And this wasn't a rubber-stamp approval. Business groups including the National Renewble Energy Board and Developers of Renewable Energy for Advancement Inc. had vigorously protested the franchise application, citing undue competitive advantages and conflicts with existing utility franchises. Several lawmakers filed resolutions to block passage.
But despite these objections, Congress—under the Duterte administration—granted the franchise to Leviste's company when he was just 25 years old.
The law imposed specific obligations and to name a few:
Section 2 mandates that the grantee [Leviste/SPBC] shall "construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain" solar facilities for the areas specified. This is not optional language—it's the core purpose of the franchise.
Section 14 requires the grantee to submit annual reports to Congress, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), and the DOE before April 30 of each year, covering:
— Compliance with franchise terms and conditions
— Status of operations
— Audited financial statements
Section 18 governs any sale, lease, transfer, or assignment of the franchise. It explicitly states:
— The grantee [Leviste/SPBC] cannot sell, lease, transfer, grant usufruct, or assign the franchise to any other person or entity without prior approval from Congress
— This includes transfer of controlling interest in the grantee company
— After obtaining Congressional approval, Congress must be informed of the completed transaction within 60 days
— Failure to report renders the franchise ipso facto revoked
These aren't suggestions. They're binding legal obligations attached to a legislative privilege.
THE VIOLATIONS: A COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN
Leandro Leviste's admission that SPBC has been DEFUNCT for four years now triggers multiple, overlapping violations:
1. Complete Failure to Operate [Section 2 Violation]
Energy Sec. Garin confirmed that SPBC has not completed a single power project since receiving its franchise in 2019. NOT ONE. The company was granted extraordinary privileges to bring electricity to remote communities—and it delivered ZERO WATTS of power to ZERO communities.
This represents the TOTAL FAILURE of the congressional franchise's core purpose. Most legislative franchises contain provisions that deem the franchise automatically revoked if the grantee fails to operate continuously for two years. Leviste just admitted to FOUR YEARS of inactivity during a national televised interview.
2. Systematic Failure to Report [Section 14 Violation]
If SPBC has been DEFUNCT for approximately four years (since roughly 2022), it has likely failed to submit mandatory annual reports to Congress, the ERC, and the DOE for multiple consecutive years. These reports are required every April 30 and must detail operational status and financial condition.
By Leviste's OWN admission, the company was non-operational during this period. Either SPBC filed false reports claiming operational status, OR—more likely—it filed no reports at all. Both scenarios constitute franchise violations.
3. Unauthorized Cessation of Operations
Sec. Garin made a critical legal point during her interview: a franchise holder cannot "unilaterally decide" to stop operations. If a company intends to close or cease franchise-related activities, it has a legal obligation to INFORM CONGRESS so that the franchise can be formally revoked or re-awarded to a capable provider.
Leviste did neither. He simply let the company DIE quietly while retaining the legislative franchise—effectively sitting on the rights to serve 17 provinces and preventing other legitimate investors from stepping in.
"What's the point of giving a franchise if you won't do anything about it?"Garin asked pointedly. "You have a franchise, there are obligations and responsibilities...Whether you stop operations, you divest, or you sell it, YOU HAVE TO TELL CONGRESS."
4. Potential Unauthorized Transfer of Controlling Interest (Section 18 Violation)
This is where the legal situation becomes extraordinarily complex and potentially criminal.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla announced in January 2026 that his office is investigating whether Leviste illegally transferred controlling interest in his solar assets to the MVP Group (MERALCO/MGen) without the mandatory Congressional approval required by Section 18.
Here is what happened: Between 2023 and 2025, Leviste sold controlling stakes in SP New Energy Corp. (SPNEC)—a separate but related company—to MERALCO PowerGen in deals totalling over ₱34 billion. MGen now controls SPNEC.
MERALCO has insisted that SPNEC is "separate and distinct" from SPBC, and therefore the transactions didn't involve the franchise-holding company. Technically, this is accurate—SPNEC and SPBC are different corporate entities.
But there's a problem: Both companies are owned by the same parent holding company—Solar Philippines Power Project Holdings Inc. (SPPHI). And Leviste himself confirmed in his January 2026 interview with Pinky Webb that he still owns SPPHI, which directly owns SPBC.
The Ombudsman's investigation rests on a fundamental legal principle that Remulla himself articulated: "What you cannot do directly, you cannot do indirectly." The question now is whether Leviste used the legislative franchise granted to SPBC as leverage or a "booster" to attract billions in private investement for SPNEC, then effectively transferred the value and operational capacity of his solar empire to MGen without Congressional approval—all while technically keeping SPBC as a dormant shell company.
If investigators can prove that the SPBC franchise was intrumentally connected to the SPNEC deals—that it increased the valuation or attractiveness of the overall Solar Philippines portfolio—then the transfer of SPNEC's controlling interest could be construed as an indirect transfer of franchise value requiring Congressional approval.
Section 18's "ipso facto revocation" clause exists precisely to prevent this kind of corporate maneuvering.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION: CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Beyond the franchise law violations, Leviste faces a potentially disqualifying constitutional problem.
Article VI, Section 14 of the 1987 Constitution states:
"No Senator or Member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines may personally appear as counsel before any court of justice or before the Electoral Tribunals, or quasi-judicial and other administrative bodies. Neither shall he, directly or indirectly, be interested financially in any contract with, or in any franchise or special privilege granted by the Government, or any subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including any government-owned or controlled corporation, or its subsidiary, during his term of office."
The language is unambiguous: members of Congress CANNOT have direct or indirect financial interest in any franchise granted by the government during their term of office.
Leviste admitted he still owns SPPHI, which directly owns the franchise-holder SPBC. He is therefore financially interested in a franchise granted by the government while serving as a sitting member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines—the very body that granted the franchise and has oversight authority over it.
This is textbook CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Leviste sits in the institution that could vote to revoke, modify, or extend his own company's franchise. He participates in energy policy discussions that could affect his business interests. He holds a legislative privilege while legislating.
Multiple government officials, including Sec. Garin, have flagged this as a potential disqualification issue that could trigger House Ethics Committee proceedings or even expulsion by two-thirds vote under House rules for "disorderly behavior"—which has been interpreted to include gross ethical violations.
THE PARANOID UNRAVELING: LEVISTE'S LEGAL LASHING AND POLITICAL FLAILING
What makes Leviste's implosion particularly fascinating is how his response to mounting scrutiny has revealed someone psychologically unprepared for the consequences of his own actions.
The Claire Castro Civil Libel Case: Lashing Out
On January 16, 2026—just days after the DOE penalties and franchise controversy exploded—Leviste file a ₱110 million civil libel complaint against Presidential Communication Office Undersecretary Claire Castro at the Balayan Regional Trial Court.
The case stems from statements Castro made [based on Ombudsman Remulla's statements] about Leviste allegedly selling his solar franchise. Leviste claims Castro defamed him by suggesting he sold SPBC franchise to Manuel V. Pangilinan without congressional approval.
His lawyer, Atty. Gasulito, este, Ferdinand Topakyu, I mean, Topacio, emphasized this is a CIVIL case, not criminal cyber libel, seeking damages rather than imprisonment. Topacio argued that while freedom of expression is constitutional, it's not absolute—particularly when statements are "targeted attacks" against a public official performing his duties. [Question, isn't Claire Castro a public official too, performing her duties?]
The IRONY is suffocating. NAKAKASULASOK. Leviste—who has spent months positioning himself as an anti-corruption crusader exposing government officials—immediately files a massive libel suit when a government official make statements about his business dealings that he finds inconvenient.
This is NOT the behavior of someone confident in his legal position. This is a defensive flailing from someone who knows the walls are closing in on him.
Running to Mommy: The Ping Lacson Plea
Perhaps most revealing was Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson's January 15, 2026 disclosure that Senator Loren Legarda had contacted him seeking advice for her son Leandro.
According to Lacson, Legarda confided that Leviste had been "crying" to her about the intense backlash he's facing now. Leviste apparently complained: "Why me? Why is the character assassination against me so severe? I know Senator Ping went through similar situations."
Lacson's assessment was brutal but accurate: "He [Leviste] doesn't know the game of politics. Of course, when you criticize, expect to be criticized back. Not necessarily truthfully, but you'll be put in a defensive position."
Lacson's advice? "Calm down a little. Don't appear on TV every day. It gets tiring." He specifically told Legarda to have her son "telegraph his moves" and avoid the "bara-bara" (reckless) approach.
Leviste has not followed Lacson's advice.
The image this paints...is pathetic: a 31-year-old congressman who presented himself as a fearless reformer is now crying to his senator mother and asking a retired police chief for political guidance on how to handle criticism. Mahinang nilalang.
This is not a serious person. This is someone who enjoyed the privileges of wealth and political pedigree without ever developing the resilience or strategic thinking required for ACTUAL political combat.
The "Cabral Files" Paranoia
Leviste has repeatedly claimed that the DOE penalties and franchise investigations are politically motivated retaliation for his possession of the so-called Cabral Files [actually, Leviste Files]—documents allegedly obtained from the late DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral supposedly detailing infrastructure budget allocations and corruption.
In his January 14 statement, Leviste wrote: "Since September, I have been tolkd that I would be slapped with trumped-up charges if I released the 'Cabral Files' and that I should just shut up for my own sake."
This particular narrative of his—that he's being persecuted for exposing corruption—is contradicted by the actual timeline:
— The DOE has been warning Solar Philippines about non-performance since 2019, 2020, and 2021, according to Secretary Garin.
— The Green Energy Auction Program contracts had December 2025 deadlines that were established years ago.
— The legislative franchise violations stem from a company that's been DEFUNCT since approximately 2022—looooooooooong before Leviste obtained any "Cabral Files."
Secretary Garin addressed this directly: "I was hesitant to cancel because of the Cabral files—I worried the DOE would be dragged into this—but we cannot NOT terminate just because he's a politician. That would be the other way around."
She then added pointedly: "It's so unfair to say he was warned in September...We've been warning him since 2019, 2020, 2021."
Ombudsman Remulla was even more dismissive when Leviste claimed the Ombudsman's field investigation team showed no interest in the "Cabral Files." Remulla challenged him: "Come here...many people will meet with you here." He questioned why Leviste would create doubt about the Ombudsman's integrity and asked sarcastically: "For what purpose? For publicity? Let's not discuss that."
The PATTERN is clear: Leviste is just using the so-called Cabral Files as a rhetorical shield to deflect from his own legal violations, framing legitimate regulatory enforcement as political persecution.
THE CONSEQUENCES: WHAT LEVISTE ACTUALLY FACES
If the violations are proven—and Leviste has essentially confessed to most of them publicly—the consequences will be devastating across multiple dimensions.
1. Automatic Franchise Revocation
Under Section 18's "ipso facto revocation" clause and standard franchise provisions regarding continuous operation, the SPBC franchise may already be automatically revoked by operation of law.
The House Committee on Legislative Franchises has scheduled a hearing for January 26, 2026 to formally address the violations, Committee Chairman Jeffrey Ferrer stated: "If there are violations, we will terminate the franchise."
Even if the franchise isn't already void, formal investigation appears inevitable given Leviste's admission of four years of non-operation and zero completed projects.
2. The ₱24 Billion Financial Penalty
The DOE is preparing to compel payment of the ₱24 billion in penalties "within the first quarter" of 2026, according to Sec. Garin.
The DOE is elevating the matter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) for enforcement. If SPPHI cannot pay, the government can pursue asset seizure, corporate dissolution, or other legal remedies.
And this would effectively bankrupt the company Leviste founded and destory his billionaire status.
3. Criminal Liability Under General Franchise Laws
Republic Act. No. 134 and related franchise legislation prescribed imprisonment of 5 to 15 years and fines not less than the value of the franchise for officials convicted of:
— Acquiring or transferring government franchises in violation of law
— Operating without proper authority
— Making false representation to obtain or maintain franchise privileges
If the Ombudsman's investigation proves Leviste illegally transferred controlling interest or made material misrepresentations about SPBC's operational status, he could face criminal prosecution.
4. Congressional Ethics and Potential Expulsion
The constitutional CONFLICT OF INTEREST under Article VI, Section 14 could trigger:
— House Ethics Committee investigation for violating constitutional prohibitions on financial interests in government franchises
— Suspension by majority vote for the duration of the investigation
— EXPULSION by two-thirds vote of found guilty of gross ethical violations
Given that Leviste's own public statements have established the conflict, defending against ethics charges will be extraordinarily difficult.
5. Civil Damages and Third-Party Claims
Beyond government penalties, Leviste could face:
— Civil suits from MGen/MERALCO if the SPBC franchise revocation affects the value of their SPNEC investments
— Shareholder derivative suits from SPNEC investors who suffered losses
— Damages claims from electric cooperatives and communities that were promised power under the franchise but received NOTHING
6. Political Annihilation
Even if Leviste somehow avoids criminal conviction or congressional expulsion, his political career is functionally over.
He entered Congress as an anti-corruption crusader. He will leave—if he leaves voluntarily—as someone who:
— WASTED a 25-year legislative franchise meant to serve poor Filipino communities
— Failed to deliver 98% of his company's energy commitments
— Violated constitutional ethics provisions
— Potentially enriched himself by billions while abandoning public obligations
— Filed a ₱110 million libel suit against a government official for stating FACTS
— Cried to his mother about political backlash
This is NOT a resume that wins re-elections.
THE BROADER INDICTMENT: PRIVILEGE WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY
Leandro Leviste's implosion is ultimately a story about what happens when extraordinary privilege meets ZERO accountability—until suddenly, catastrophically, it does.
Leviste was born into political and business "royalty." He secured $100 million bank loan at age 20—something no ordinary Filipino enterpreneur could dream of accessing. He obtained a 25-year congressional franchise at age 25 despite industry-wide opposition. He built a renewable energy empire that attracted billions in investment from one of the country's most powerful tycoons.
He did all this while violating the fundamental obligations attached to the privileges he received. He secured government contracts and then delivered NOTHING. He obtained a legislative franchise and then abandoned it. He entered Congress while maintaining financial interests in government-granted privileges—a direct constitutional violation.
And when consquences finally arrive, his response wasn't accountability or contrition. It was paranoia. deflection, and legal aggression. He sued a government official for libel. He claimed political persecution. He ran to his senator mother for protection. He tried to use the "Cabral Files" as a shield.
This is the behavior of someone who has never truly faced consequences in real life—someone who genuinely believed that wealth, family connections, and media-savvy positioning as a "reformer" would insulate him indefinitely.
Energy Secretary Garin captured the essense perfectly when she described companies that "KUKUHA LANG NG KONTRATA, MAGHIHINTAY NG INVESTOR, LAWAY LANG ANG IBEBENTA" (just get contracts, wait for investors, sell nothing but saliva). That's Leandro Leviste's business model in a sentence: secure privileges, attract capital, deliver nothing, move on.
Except this time, there's nowhere to move on to.
CONCLUSION: THE RECKONING
Come January 26, 2026, when the House Committee on Legislative Franchises convenes, will Leandro Leviste face a moment of truth that no amount of Yale education, family pedigree, or billionaire status can deflect?
Because he will have to answer why a company granted a 25-year franchise to serve the nation's poorest communities completed zero projects. He will have to explain why he never informed Congress that the franchise holder was DEFUNCT for four year already. He will have to justify still holding a legislative privilege while now serving in the legislature that granted it.
He will have to account for ₱24 billion in penalties for failing to deliver 98% of his energy commitments. He will have to address whether he illegally transfered billions in franchise value to private investors without Congressional approval.
And he will have to do all this while his ₱110 million libel suit against a government official makes him look vindictive and desperate, while reports that he "cried to his mother" about political backlash make him look weak, and while his claims of political persecution ring hollow against documented violations stretching back to 2019.
The legislative franchise that was supposed to bring light to darkness brought NOTHING. The billionaire who was supposed to revolutionize renewable energy delivered 2% of his promises. The congressman who was supposed to expose corruption is now drowning in his own.
This is what happens when you confuse privilege with competence, when you treat a legislative franchise like a business asset to be FLIPPED, when you think the rules don't apply to you because they never have before.
Leandro Leviste didn't just waste a 25-year franchise. He wasted the opportunity to actually be the visionary enterpreneur and reformer he pretented to be.
And NOW, finally, he's facing the bill. All ₱24 billion of it.
Welcome to consequences, Congressman Aw aw! They're expensive, they're thorough, and they've been a long time coming.
