During a hearing regarding his request for hospital detention, Associate Justice Ronald Moreno expressed frustration over a suggested four-to-six-week recovery period for Representative Martin Romualdez. The lawmaker's cardiologist, Dr. Rody Sy, argued that Romualdez requires this timeframe to manage stress-related health issues, including hypertension and diabetes, noting that his blood pressure recently spiked to 170/110. Dr. Sy stated that the ongoing criminal proceedings and the arrest warrant are significant contributors to the representative's current medical condition. While the physician advised against transferring the patient immediately due to his instability, he acknowledged that a move to a different facility for evaluation by government medical professionals remains a possibility. Justice Moreno highlighted the public pressure surrounding the case, emphasizing the urgency of the proceedings.
