A 'Frame-Up': The Philippines' Biggest Corruption Case Just Got Complicated

Épisode 20

mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 38:24

Former House Speaker and the president's cousin Martin Romualdez has responded to the allegations against him - and we break it all down in this episode.

A falsified affidavit. Three recanted witnesses. A claim that the whole case was scripted as a blackmail scheme.

I summarize the 116-page Counter Affidavit Romualdez filed this month, responding to the corruption complaint we broke down last episode, and it goes after nearly every piece of evidence in it.

On this assignment, I walk through his defense point by point: he had no personal control over the flood control budget; a key witness affidavit was ruled falsified; security aides who described cash deliveries have now recanted; and why he's asking the Ombudsman to dismiss the case entirely, arguing that continuing to prosecute him would itself violate his constitutional rights.

⚠️ A note before you listen: this is one side's sworn response to the allegations. It doesn't settle the case, and the Ombudsman still has to weigh both filings before deciding whether to move forward.

Explained: Shocking, New Evidence in the Flood Control Scandal

Épisode 19

mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 31:22

Suitcases of cash. A fake money-changer. Mansions and multi-million donations around the world.

A new Supplemental Complaint-Affidavit just landed at the Philippine Office of the Ombudsman — and it adds fresh witnesses, new financial trails, and new names to the country's biggest corruption scandal.

In this episode, I break down the 104-page complaint and what the filing actually alleges against former House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, ex-congressman Elizaldy Co and their accomplices: a cash-kickback scheme tied to flood control projects, a network of shell companies and professional intermediaries accused of moving the money, and new financial intelligence findings that show a massive gap between declared wealth and alleged cash flows.

⚠️ A note before you listen: these are allegations contained in a legal filing, not a conviction. The respondents have not yet had the opportunity to respond to these allegations.

"I'm Not President of My Family": What Marcos' SONA Really Signals

Épisode 18

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 30:40

Real accountability or political theatre?

In this episode, we analyze President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's statements on the flood control corruption scandal in his recent State of the Nation address, including his announcement that charges will be filed against his very own cousin Martin Romualdez. We look at accountability, political motives, and the prospects for genuine reform in the Philippines.

On this assignment, we unpack how much of what he said in the SONA is real accountability — and how much is a government managing its own narrative, or the president just saving himself?

Professor Jean Encinas Franco, professor of Political Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman, provides expert insights into the political landscape and the challenges of achieving transparency.

A Nation Watching: The Alex Eala Effect

Épisode 17

mercredi 8 juillet 2026 • Durée 46:43

Sports star Alex Eala just made history — beating defending champion Iga Świątek to reach the second week of Wimbledon, the deepest any Filipino has ever gone in a Grand Slam. Veteran sports journalist TJ Manotoc joins us on this episode to unpack what her rise means for the sport and the country.

While Eala was eliminated by Jasmine Paolini in the round of 16, she’s now reached a career-high singles ranking of world number 28. And somewhere along the way, Eala stopped being just a promising athlete and became something bigger. A symbol of what's possible. Of excellence. Of a country's hunger to see itself win on a stage it's rarely been invited to.

The 21-year-old from Manila has not only raised her own profile but has also ignited hope and pride among Filipino tennis fans.

On this assignment, we'll explore the factors behind Eala's meteoric rise, the impact of her achievements in the Philippines, and what her journey signifies for aspiring athletes.

Saving Siargao, Part 3: How corruption is destroying the environment

Épisode 16

jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Durée 33:41

Government officials, business owners and developers have contributed to the destruction of Siargao's environment and natural beauty.

On this episode, we speak to Siargao-based anti-corruption advocate and resort owner Christophe Bariou, about the impunity he has witnessed on the island, its impact on the environment, and how he's endeavoured to fight it.

Siargao Island is a tear-drop shaped island in Southern Philippines widely known around the world for its surfing, beaches, and natural beauty – and is fast becoming one of the most popular islands in Asia.

It’s now being touted as the next Bali not just because of its ability to draw international crowds, but because its rapid tourism growth and development have brought significant environmental pressures and sustainability challenges.

The island is also facing major environmental issues caused by the climate crisis and corruption, and local communities are sounding the alarm.

In this 3-part series “Saving Siargao,” we look at the environmental problems plaguing the paradise island, and speak to the people who are fighting to save and protect it.

Épisode 14

jeudi 28 mai 2026 • Durée 25:32

On part 1 of our three-part series, our assignment is to understand the environmental impact of mass tourism on the island.

On this episode, we speak to Analyn Dulpina, Kara Rosas, and Iris Aroa of Lokal Lab, a grassroots NGO focused on sustainability for Siargao.

Exposing more NYC luxury properties tied to Martin Romualdez

Épisode 13

mardi 19 mai 2026 • Durée 16:54

EXCLUSIVE: Our latest investigation reveals two additional New York City properties have links to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

My assignment today is to investigate how documents, sources and new evidence ties Romualdez and his family to more US properties.

Property records show that in 2025, Romualdez's business associate and fraternity brother Andrew Casino was named trustee of three additional properties at the Ritz Tower in Manhattan, just a year after Romualdez acquired a unit on behalf of his father's estate. Casino is the same lawyer who facilitated that acquisition, and another Romualdez property in Massachusetts.

The new units were acquired in a similar manner that match previous luxury properties linked to Romualdez, and taken with additional evidence, raise questions over real ownership.

This latest investigation brings the total number of properties linked to Romualdez, that we've found on this podcast alone, to four.

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 Ombudsman is currently investigating him for money laundering, but no formal charges have been filed.

I did a week-long leadership course in Harvard: Here's what I learned

Épisode 12

lundi 4 mai 2026 • Durée 27:06

I'm back from a bit of a hiatus that included attending a week-long course at Harvard Kennedy School, on Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century. In this episode, I recap my top three takeaways from the program, reflect on the feeling of being in a classroom again, and talk about why I came out of it feeling surprisingly optimistic about the future. I hope you take something away from my candid reflection about my brief time in Cambridge.

On this assignment, I take you with me on my personal journey to become a better journalist and newsroom leader.
