Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) representative Rauf Sissay criticized former House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s hospital confinement, characterizing it as a familiar tactic to avoid immediate detention following his non-bailable plunder warrant.
Sissay questioned the timing of the medical admission immediately after the Sandiganbayan issued the order.
BAYAN called on judicial and law enforcement authorities to enforce standard detention protocols without granting special accommodations to high-profile defendants.
