The Sandiganbayan Third Division issues orders and summons related to claims that detained former House Speaker Martin Romualdez is leaving or “sneaking out” of the Quezon City jail. GMA News Online reports that the court orders BJMP officials to testify on Romualdez’s detention status amid reports he is being allowed to leave detention.
In parallel, BJMP takes internal steps after rumours circulate. Philstar.com and GMA News Online say BJMP launches an investigation into alleged irregularities or “sneaking out,” with the probe tied to concerns about the former Speaker’s movement while in custody.
Inquirer.net frames the story around the Sandiganbayan’s step of summoning specific BJMP personnel for a hearing, naming a jail superintendent and a medical officer to appear so the court can verify the claims. Across outlets, the common thread is the alleged jail exit and the resulting court and jail actions, with detail varying by outlet.
