The United States has officially revoked the visas of Martin Romualdez, the former Speaker of the House in the Philippines, as confirmed by the Philippine Ambassador to the US, Jose Manuel "Babes" Romualdez. The ambassador stated that the Philippine Embassy was informed of this decision by the US State Department, although no specific reasons for the revocation were disclosed. A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Manila reiterated that due to confidentiality policies, the US Department of State does not comment on individual visa cases. Romualdez, a congressman from Leyte and cousin of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has been a significant figure in Philippine politics. He has recently been under scrutiny due to alleged connections to a flood-control controversy linked to infrastructure spending, which has sparked public protests and criticism. Despite the revocation of his US travel privileges, Romualdez has not yet issued a public statement regarding the matter.
