Ombudsman has rejected Martin Romualdez's bid to travel to Singapore, signaling a potential freeze order on his assets amidst ongoing investigations into budget corruption scandals. This decision comes as Romualdez publicly blames the executive branch for the corruption issues, raising eyebrows about the implications for his political standing.
In response to allegations of graft in the 2025 budget, Romualdez has denied any involvement, instead pointing fingers at fellow politicians Chiz Escudero and Zaldy Co. The unfolding situation highlights the increasing scrutiny on Romualdez as he navigates these serious accusations.
