Investigating the Martin Romualdez-linked ultra luxurious Amanpulo villa

Описание

EXCLUSIVE: Amanpulo resort on Pamalican Island in Palawan is an ultra luxurious, ultra private enclave for the super wealthy that is only accessible via private plane. Our investigation reveals that a multi-million dollar, four-bedroom villa that sprawls over an acre surrounding an infinity pool has ties to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.My assignment today is to dig through public documents to attempt to trace the ownership of this property.Public records show that in 2024, the year it was allegedly acquired, Romualdez's close business associate and fraternity brother Jose Raulito Paras became treasurer of the holding company that owns the property. The paperwork also raises questions, as on the year that the ownership changed, the name of the villa owner was withheld for the first time in almost two decades.Romualdez is the first cousin of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr and one of his closest allies. He is one of the top government officials allegedly linked to the flood control corruption scandal, an accusation he denies.The paperwork also shows patterns that match previous multi-million properties linked to Romualdez.Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or via your favorite podcast app: https://onassignmentwithme.transistor...Follow @natashya_g on YouTube for video episodes, and on Instagram, Tiktok, X and Facebook for updates.Support independent journalism and this podcast: buymeacoffee.com/natashya_gTo know more about my work, go to natashyagutierrez.com#amanpulo #martinromualdez #lifestylecheck #philippines #floodcontrolcorruption
