Duterte stated that discussions about these alleged deliveries have been ongoing since she and President Marcos assumed office.
She noted that the issue recently surfaced publicly due to a witness claiming to have personally delivered the suitcases.
The Vice President added that this alleged modus operandi is not unusual for Romualdez, citing his previous involvement in a case involving heavy luggage in Okada.
Duterte also referenced a case in the State of Delaware, USA, where Romualdez's name was reportedly mentioned in connection with receiving money in luggage.
