Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez has maintained his silence on his reported donation of $2 million (P113.4 million) to Harvard University
“In light of recent speculations regarding my alleged donation to Harvard University, I choose to respect the institution’s gift policy,” he said in a statement.
“More importantly, I’d like to redirect our attention to the significant milestone achieved—the introduction of the Filipino language course at Harvard,” the Leyte lawmaker said.Romualdez noted that as mentioned by Mr. Jose Marco C. Antonio II, co-president of the Harvard Undergraduate Philippine Forum, “our focus should be on celebrating this achievement.”
“As a matter of practice, Harvard does not discuss the terms or specifics of individual gifts, and in line with Harvard’s gift policy, donors have no role in the establishment of the courses that are offered,” he added.
