Romualdez no longer needs hospital confinement—PGH director

The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) has stated that Leyte Representative and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez no longer needs to be confined to the hospital. PGH Director Dr. Gerardo "Gap" D. Legaspi announced that Romualdez is deemed clinically stable. According to the PGH, while his identified conditions require monitoring and treatment, confinement is not necessary as long as medical care is assured. This development concerns a prominent figure in Philippine politics, whose health status often draws public attention due to its potential implications on policy-making and political stability. Romualdez, as a former Speaker of the House, has been instrumental in the passage of significant legislation during his tenure. The PGH's assessment suggests the possibility of the representative returning to his duties sooner rather than later. Source: GMA News Philippines
