Trails linking Escudero, Romualdez to flood control mess found, says Remulla | GMA Integrated News

WATCH: ICI holds a press conference after its submission of a referral to the Ombudsman to investigate some former DPWH personnel for possible violation of the code of conduct and ethical standards (November 4, 2025). Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Tuesday said his office has found a money trail linking Senator Francis “Chiz" Escudero to the flood control mess. “[Our investigation on him (Escudero) is] ongoing; we have statements of a money trail leading to him, narrations of fact that are there already…but of course, we want to buttress it with other evidence which we're looking at right now,” Remulla said. Remulla also said Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez is also liable for, at the very least, gross negligence over the actions of former Appropriations panel chairperson and Ako Bicol party-list Zaldy Co who is facing criminal complaints over an anomalous P289 million flood control project in Oriental Mindoro. #GMAIntegratedNews #BreakingNews GMA Network promotes healthy debate and conversation online.
