The Sandiganbayan Third Division ordered the Philippine General Hospital on Friday to examine Leyte Representative Martin Romualdez and verify the findings of his doctors from Cardinal Santos Medical Center, where he is currently confined.

Sandiganbayan Third Division chairperson Associate Justice Karl Miranda made the announcement after two days of hearing testimonies from Romualdez’s physicians

Romualdez will be transferred and confined in state-run PGH starting Saturday, September 12, until further court orders.

The anti-graft court said Romualdez’s transfer to PGH should be via an ambulance equipped to treat his heart, brain, and other ailments.

It also directed the director of PGH to report the results on Monday.
