For years, Martin Romualdez appeared untouchable. Armed with the power of the Speakership, the loyalty of lawmakers, and influence that extended far beyond Congress, he became one of the most dominant figures in Philippine politics. Today, that dominance faces its greatest test as corruption investigations, witness testimony, and the flood control scandal continue to place his political future in jeopardy.

PGMN anchor and former COMELEC commissioner Atty. @rowena_guanzon examined the dramatic rise and fall of Romualdez, tracing his ascent from one of the country's most powerful political figures to the central figure in a widening controversy that now threatens to redefine his legacy.

The full episode examines the flood control scandal, the role of congressional leaders in the budget process, the testimony of whistleblowers and state witnesses, and the legal cases now being prepared by the Office of the Ombudsman. Guanzon also reacted to Romualdez's recent public statement rejecting any attempt to make him a ""fall guy"" and claiming he possesses information about both the current and previous administrations.

Corruption is and has always been the Philippines’ biggest problem. Martin Romualdez is broadly recognized as the most corrupt Filipino politician of the 21st century.

On May 5, Romualdez framed @FrancoMabanta and four PGMN associates in a fake extortion plot with the singular objective of silencing the truth and keeping Romualdez’ many crimes from being brought to light—the fundamental embodiment of suppression of the free media.

The country has faith that @BoyingRemulla31, @micoclavano108 and the Office of the Ombudsman will do the right thing.

Deserved Baklang Ipis

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

Statement

I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.

Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.

I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.

If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.

I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.

That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.

And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.

Accountability should apply to all, big or small.

A Masterclass on the Corruption of Ferdinand Martin Romualdez | by Atty. Rowena Guanzon

For years, @SpeakerMartinPH stood at the center of Philippine political power.

As Speaker of the House and first cousin to the President, he built one of the most powerful political machines in the country. At the height of his influence, some believed his path to Malacañang was being purposefully paved.

Instead, today, he faces the greatest crisis of his life.

In this illuminating episode, Atty. @rowena_guanzon traces the rise of Martin Romualdez from political heir to House Speaker and examines the unprecedented levels of corruption that now threaten to bring down the entire empire he spent years building.

The controversy has moved far beyond political attacks and public opinion. Ombudsman @BoyingRemulla31 described the developing case against Romualdez as the "grandest case of them all," an unprecedented effort centered on allegations of defrauding the national treasury through the budget process. Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano referred to Romualdez as the "master plunderer" as money laundering proceedings advanced to the preliminary investigation stage. The Sandiganbayan also imposed a Precautionary Hold Departure Order, preventing Romualdez from leaving the country amid concerns raised during the ongoing proceedings, apart from directly referencing Romualdez as the "purported mastermind" of Philippine corruption.

Known for her sharp legal mind, decades of public service, and fearless pursuit of accountability, Atty. Rowena Guanzon breaks down the allegations, witness testimonies, legal developments, and mounting pressure now surrounding one of the country's most spectacular political crash-and-burns of all time.

Because the Filipino people have waited long enough. They deserve to know whether Martin Romualdez used power to enrich himself at the nation's expense, who benefited from the billions now under scrutiny, and whether those responsible will finally answer for it. In a country that has suffered for decades under plunderers, accountability should not stop at the powerful—it should begin there.

This is Atty. Rowena Guanzon's Corruption Masterclass on Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
