Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that former House Speaker Martin Romualdez will not receive preferential treatment, notwithstanding his familial connection to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Remulla emphasized that the President has issued no directives regarding the handling of his cousin, asserting that the administration remains committed to upholding the law impartially. According to the Secretary, authorities are prepared to follow judicial mandates strictly, regardless of personal or political affiliations. Preparations for potential detention at the Quezon City Jail in Payatas are already underway. Furthermore, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group has finalized the necessary booking protocols, which include the collection of fingerprints and official photographs, ensuring that standard legal procedures are applied to Romualdez as they would be to any other citizen.
