In this two-part interview, we revisit the New York City property
acquired by the Romualdez family – a prominent clan in Philippine
politics –which was first exposed during the launch of this
podcast. My assignment this week is to understand how the family
of former House Speaker Martin Romualdez acquired their wealth.

We speak to Ruben Carranza, who was the commissioner of the
Presidential Commission on Good Government from 2001-2004, in
charge of litigating and investigating ill-gotten wealth
accumulated by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, his family,
and associates – including the Romualdezes.

Now a lawyer with the International Center for Transitional
Justice, he tells us about the family’s historical ties to the
Marcos dictatorship, their rise to wealth and power, and the
mechanisms they used to accumulate and hide their assets.

Stay tuned for Part 2.

Note: This episode was recorded in December but postponed for
release to make room for reporting on the Bondi terrorist
attack.
