Marco Polo's ally, cousin, and House Speaker Romualdez is confessed to have used flood control projects for deals!

Flood control project contractor Cory Discaña testified before the Senate investigation committee yesterday, stating that officials who asked him and his wife Sarah for economic benefits, including 19 members of the House of Representatives led by Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Romualdez firmly denied the accusation: "Let me clarify, I have nothing to do with such activities, no permission or blessing was given, the Congress discussed and approved the budget, it neither releases funds nor implements the project. I honestly say: I have never - and will never - accept any money from anyone."

"I will not let lies tarnish my integrity and the institution I lead. Under my supervision, we will clean up the system, punish the guilty, and protect the people's money."
