ROMUALDEZ PARANGAL? NGAYON PA? KAPAL NG MUKHA AWARD 2025
Sa gitna ng pinakamalalaking iskandalo sa Kongreso—nawawalang pondo, lumulubog na flood control projects, at budget insertions na parang kabuteng nagsulputan—isang napaka-"timely" na balita ang ibinida ng ilang kaalyado:
Pinarangalan daw si dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Ayon kay Rep. Sandro Marcos, ang parangal ay dahil sa “kontribusyon” ni Romualdez bilang lider ng Kamara.
Pero kung titingnan ang laman ng mga headline nitong nakaraang linggo, ibang klaseng kontribusyon ang nakikita ng publiko:
Kontribusyon sa kalituhan sa 2025 national budget
Kontribusyon sa 60B PhilHealth fund fiasco
Kontribusyon sa flood control controversy na umabot ng P4.4B
Kontribusyon sa pag-slide ng tiwala ng publiko sa Kongreso
Nakakatawa, nakakalungkot, at higit sa lahat: nakakainsulto sa mamamayan.
Habang naghahanap ang taong-bayan ng malinaw na paliwanag sa mga anomalya, ang kanilang nakikita ay ceremony, photo-op, at parangal—parang walang nangyayari.
Pero dito klaro ang posisyon ng Agila:
Hindi propaganda, hindi resolution, at hindi palakpakan ang magtatakip sa katotohanan.
Ang bayan may mata. At kung may ayaw talagang makita, mas lalo lang umiingay ang hinala.
At sa ngayon, sa dami ng iskandalong umiikot, ang “parangal” ay hindi papuri—
kundi reminder kung gaano ka-desperado ang damage control.

Romualdez Breaks Silence: “My Conscience Is Clear”—Pero Naniniwala Ba Ang Bayan?
Former Speaker Martin Romualdez has finally responded to the storm of corruption exposés surrounding the alleged P100-billion flood control kickbacks — claiming that his conscience is “clear” and that no evidence links him to any wrongdoing.
The statement comes after both the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) recommended filing plunder, graft, and indirect bribery charges against him and former Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co.
But Romualdez insists:
“Throughout all these proceedings, no credible evidence has ever linked me to any irregularity.”

He even expressed full trust in Ombudsman Boying Remulla, saying he’s confident the review will “reflect the truth.”
Ironically, Remulla himself admitted that Romualdez called him once — before he assumed office — asking for help “to defend himself.”
Zaldy Co’s viral video series painted a very different picture.
According to Co, millions in cash were hand-delivered to the residences of BBM and Romualdez over several years. Witness Orly Guteza even testified that he personally delivered luggage of cash to Romualdez.
But now the narrative tries to shift:
“No evidence daw.”
“Clear conscience daw.”
“Trust the process daw.”
The public isn’t buying it.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, led by Sen. Ping Lacson, recently revealed discrepancies in Guteza’s affidavit signatures — but that only adds another layer of suspicion rather than clarity.
Filipinos are now asking:
If everything was clean, why are there 3-part confession videos?
Why did Co’s testimonies involve specific dates, names, and locations?
And why did Romualdez call the Ombudsman the moment the scandal broke?
The truth is not decided by press releases. It is revealed by evidence — and right now, the evidence is slowly rising to the surface.
