Behind the Scenes Romualdez Denies Guteza's Fabrication of Kickback Allegations

In the world of toy collecting, staying informed and fact-checking are crucial to navigating the complexities of this exciting hobby. In this behind-the-scenes look, we'll delve into a recent development in the Philippines that has sparked controversy.

On December 2024, Orly Guteza appeared before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, alleging that he had delivered money to Ferdinand Martin Romualdez's residence. However, Romualdez, Leyte 1st District Representative and former speaker, strongly denies these claims, labeling them as a fabrication.

A Denial of Allegations

In a statement, Romualdez expressed his surprise at the allegations raised against him, stating I was deeply taken aback to hear the allegation made today before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee – that several pieces of luggage supposedly containing money were ever delivered to a residence associated with me. He went on to describe Guteza's testimony as an outright and complete fabrication – nothing more than a desperate attempt to link me to supposed kickbacks where none exist.

Questioning Validity

Romualdez also highlighted the inconsistency in Guteza's claims, pointing out that McKinley, the alleged location of the deliveries, has been under renovation since January 2024 and was unoccupied except for construction workers. This raises serious questions about the validity of Guteza's testimony.

A Commitment to Transparency

As a lawyer by profession, Romualdez is committed to transparency and integrity. He reiterates I have never authorized, instructed, or allowed anyone to engage in any conduct that would betray the people or taint my name.

Lessons for Toy Collectors

This controversy serves as a reminder to toy collectors everywhere of the importance of staying informed and fact-checking. As we navigate the world of collectibles, it's essential that we separate fact from fiction.
