Romualdez faces ICI over corruption claims

The Freeman

|

October 15, 2025

Former House Speaker Martin Romualdez on Tuesday, October 14, appeared before his cousin President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s fact-finding anti-corruption body, the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI).

Romualdez, who has been implicated in alleged kickback schemes together with resigned House lawmaker Zaldy Co, said he was ready to cooperate with the ICI.

Upon arriving at the ICI, Romualdez thanked the body for the invitation but clarified that he was not a member of the bicameral conference committee, where most of the alleged budget insertions for kickbacks were believed to have occurred.
