The Romualdez bail hearing is still going on, a sort of political sideshow to the dramatics we're seeing play out in the Senate.
During Day 4 of the bail hearing for former House Speaker Martin Romualdez's P7.44-billion plunder case, police major and former close-in security Alvin Nuguid testified that he witnessed suitcase deliveries to properties linked to Romualdez, stating he saw the suitcases rather than the actual cash inside.
The defense, in order to bail Romualdez out, is highlighting the supposed gaps in the witness testimonies such as none of the security aides could confirm what was actually inside the suitcases. In his bail petition, Romualdez argued that the accounts of luggage deliveries fail to establish the source, the specific amount of the alleged money, or proof that he personally received it.
During cross-examination on Day 4, the defense capitalized on the admission from Police Major Alvin Nuguid and fellow security aide Larry Bellen that they had no personal knowledge of the suitcases' contents. Nuguid even noted that while he rode in a VIP car with former lawmaker Elizaldy Co, he never overheard any conversations regarding the delivery of money.
The prosecution recently brought forward witness Gil Navidad, who directly testified that he participated in the delivery of suitcases explicitly containing money across four key locations, including Romualdezβs purported residence. They argue that witnesses like Police Major Alvin Nuguid establish the physical movement by testifying to seeing 50 to 60 suitcases systematically delivered to co-accused former Rep. Zaldy Co's residence two to three times a week.
The next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The Sandiganbayan Third Division established a strict, continuous timeline to resolve the ongoing bail petition by November 12, 2026. Hearings for this phase are held three times a week, every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Vietnam has had more lethal confrontations with China in the South China Sea.
The difference between Vietnam and PH??
The Vietnamese hold no punches in condemning China.
In the PH- China relies on the DDS puppets to defend them. MAKAPILI.
Nakakalungkot di ba??? π₯Ίπ
@tribunephl We respect counties who respect our country, our local & national laws and all applicable international laws including the UNCLOS.
Our China policy is never to be subservient to China or to any other country.
'CHINA MUST RESPECT THE LAW'
READ: The National Security Council of the Philippines issued a statement condemning the recurring unlawful activities, unauthorized fishing, and dangerous maneuvers of Chinese vessels within Philippine maritime zones.
The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) emphasized that under UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award, unilateral claims cannot override Philippine sovereignty and international law.
The council calls on China to cease its unlawful operations and respect international maritime obligations.
