Former House Speaker Martin Romualdez is set to undergo a medical review at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) following his transfer from Cardinal Santos Medical Center. The review aims to determine whether he should remain in hospital confinement or be moved to regular jail.
PGH submitted a medical examination report to the Sandiganbayan, the anti-graft court, which had previously denied Romualdez’s request to continue his hospital detention. The hospital’s spokesperson, Dr. Jonas del Rosario, did not comment further on the case.
Specialists at PGH have formed a team to examine Romualdez after his transfer. The court had previously ruled against extending his hospital stay, but the medical review may provide new information influencing the decision.
The case remains under judicial review as authorities assess Romualdez’s health and legal status. No further details have been released on the outcome of the examination.
