Romualdez denies flood control corruption role to Ombudsman Remulla

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla disclosed that former House Speaker Martin Romualdez contacted him to deny any involvement in the flood control corruption controversy.

Romualdez reportedly called Remulla after the latter's appointment as Ombudsman but before he officially took office.

During the call, Romualdez attempted to explain his side and assert his lack of involvement in questionable infrastructure projects.

Remulla stated that he advised Romualdez that the Office of the Ombudsman would simply follow the evidence in its investigation.

The Ombudsman expects to file charges against Romualdez within the next six to nine months.

Remulla assured that the Ombudsman will only file a case if it is well-documented and solid, with a specific violation of the law.
