00:08lifted.
00:09This as Romaldes faces complaints before the Ombudsman for plunder, graft, money laundering, and direct and indirect bribery.
00:16Romaldes files a motion arguing the PHDO affects his constitutional right to travel because he claims the complaint failed to
00:22establish probable cause.
00:23But 7th Division chairperson, Associate Justice Lorifel Lakap Pahimna, says the instant motion is denied for lack of merit.
00:31The anti-graft court approved the Ombudsman's PHDO request on April 22.
00:35The Ombudsman says Romaldes was the purported mastermind of the kickback scheme and flood control projects, demanding to around P56
00:42billion.
