Sandiganbayan Orders PGH Examination of Rep. Romualdez for Health Verification
The Sandiganbayan (anti-graft court) has ordered the transfer and examination of Leyte Representative Martin Romualdez at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) to verify his health condition, as he is currently confined in a private medical facility.
The Sandiganbayan Third Division has ordered Leyte Representative Martin Romualdez to undergo examination at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) to verify the findings of his doctors from Cardinal Santos Medical Center, where he is currently confined. Sandiganbayan Third Division chairperson Associate Justice Karl Miranda made the announcement after two days of hearing testimonies from Romualdez’s physicians. Romualdez will be transferred and confined in state-run PGH starting Saturday, September 12, until further court orders. The anti-graft court said Romualdez’s transfer to PGH should be via an ambulance equipped to treat his heart, brain, and other ailments. It also directed the director of PGH to report the results on Monday. Romualdez and his three other co-accused are facing a P7.4 billion plunder charge over alleged links to flood control scam.—AOL, GMA News
