DISCAYA COUPLE’S PENCHANT in collecting extremely expensive cars is no match to somebody else’s hobby — collecting mansions in a singular posh subdivision in Makati City.
According to posts spreading like fire on social media, Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez owns not one or two — but 12 mansions at the Forbes Park, a place exclusively for the the richest and the famous.
Proof of such “exclusivity” is the high level of security requiring each and every individual to undergo the strictest screening — proof of identification, interrogation and verification of the village resident that visitors wish to see.
Despite high-level security at Forbes Park, one of the 12 mansions reportedly owned by Romualdez was captured on camera — reinforced with an additional layer of fence in what many believed as an effort to secure the property of the former House Speaker from being vandalized or attacked by an angry mob over allegations of corruption hurled against members of the House of Representatives.
Romualdez was among those being dragged into the flood control scandal.
The huge house is located on McKinley Road, approximately four kilometers away from Luneta Park, where the so-called ‘Trillion Peso March’ is set to take place, on September 21 coinciding with the 53rd anniversary of the martial law declaration.
Tens of thousands are expected to join the grand protest rally to demand accountability of government officials — elected and appointive alike, behind the anomalies at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
There are also rumors of an imminent military participation.
