DPWH recommendation against Romualdez 'not a finding of guilt', lawyer says
The camp of former Speaker Martin Romualdez stated that the Department of Public Works and Highways' (DPWH) recommendation to file plunder, graft, and direct bribery complaints against him is merely a recommendation and not a finding of guilt.
Atty. Ade Fajardo, Romualdez's lawyer and spokesperson, clarified that the DPWH's recommendation does not equate to a determination of guilt.
Fajardo also refuted claims that the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) had recommended charges against Romualdez.
He emphasized that the ICI's referral report explicitly stated it was issued without any finding or conclusion of guilt or liability on the part of former Speaker Romualdez.
