The Philippine National Police (PNP) General Hospital prepares a room that former House Speaker and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez could be placed in if the Sandiganbayan orders or allows a hospital detention arrangement. The PNP Public Information Office shares photos showing a standard hospital bed and basic medical equipment.
According to the PNP, the room includes items such as an oxygen tank, a plastic cabinet, and a window-type air conditioner. Photos also show metal bars at the entrance and a look outside the room. GMA News similarly reports that the PNP has readied the room in anticipation of a possible hospital detention status tied to his arrest on plunder charges.
While both outlets describe the facility preparation, the accounts focus primarily on the hospital setting and the existence of the room. They do not dispute the basic purpose of the preparation, but differ in the amount of operational detail provided beyond describing what is visible in the PNP-shared photographs and the stated reason for readiness.
