Pinabulaanan ng opisina ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez ang mga kumakalat online na nakaranas umano ito ng stroke at kasalukuyang naka-confine sa ospital.
Sa isang pahayag nitong Sabado, Disyembre 7, iginiit ng Head Executive Assistant ng Office of the Speaker na si Atty. Lemuel Erwin Romero na nais lamang umanong iligaw ang publiko ng nasabing kumakalat na maling impormasyon tungkol kay Romualdez.
“We strongly deny the false and malicious rumors being circulated online claiming that Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez suffered a stroke and is currently confined in a hospital. These allegations are completely untrue and are clearly designed to mislead the public and sow confusion,” aniya.
Binanggit din ni Romero na maayos ang kondisyon ng kalusugan ni Romualdez, 61-anyos, at patuloy raw na ginagampanan ang kaniyang tungkulin bilang lider ng Kamara.

“Speaker Romualdez is in excellent health and continues to perform his duties with dedication and focus. Just yesterday, December 6, 2024, he attended several official engagements, demonstrating his active involvement in public service,” ani Romero.
“In the morning, he was at Malacañang Palace for the Ceremonial Signing of two significant laws: the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act and the Student Loan Payment Moratorium During Disasters and Emergencies Act. The event was widely covered by the media, underscoring his active role in advancing these legislative measures.
“Later in the day, Speaker Romualdez participated in the Year-End Celebration and Thanksgiving of the League of Provinces of the Philippines alongside President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., governors, and senators, where he reinforced collaboration with local government leaders,” saad pa niya.
Kaugnay nito, hinikayat ni Romero ang publikong dumepende lamang sa mga naberipikang impormasyon mula sa opisyal na mga source.
“We urge everyone to rely only on verified and official sources of information and to reject disinformation that seeks to undermine trust in our leaders and institutions,” saad ni Romero.
