This case involving the wife of the late tyrant's brother-in-law is only one of several cases filed to sequester the Marcoses' ill-gotten wealth
MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court rejected the move to preserve the testimony of the mother of House Speaker Martin Romualdez in an ill-gotten wealth case.
Associate Justice Rodil Zalameda penned the decision, while Associate Justices Ramon Paul Hernando, Amy Lazaro-Javier, Jose Midas Marquez, and Antonio Kho Jr. concurred. According to the High Court, the appellate court only looked into the physical and medical condition of Romualdez, without even considering that the FPHC’s complaints were already denied by the Sandiganbayan at least twice.
The FPHC’s allegation that the shares on Philippine Commercial and Industrial Bank are ill-gotten has no factual basis, said the SC. Since the late Benjamin Romualdez was cleared of his connection with one of the institutions mentioned in the case, “his widow, should not be unfairly used as a bait for FPHC’s unwarranted fishing expedition against TMEE and other individuals,” the High Court added.The FPHC was the former owner of 6,299,177 shares in the Philippine Commercial and Industrial Bank.
Romualdez is the wife of the beneficial owner of the so-called ill-gotten wealth in question and has personal knowledge of the circumstances of the case.
