Two days before Speaker Martin Romualdez's statement making no categorical confirmation, a Washington-based Filipino-American advocacy group asked for transparency regarding the funding for Harvard University's first-ever Filipino language course
he resigned from his post as a result of the article’s takedown.
“A sizable donation by Speaker Romualdez should be transparent. The sources of the $2 million should be disclosed. Recall, his uncle was overthrown in 1986 by the Filipino People revolution against unprecedented corruption, repression and economic mismanagement,” USFGG national chair Loida Nicolas Lewis said on Friday, September 15.
Lewis also pointed out that if the Marcos family really wants to rebuild its reputation, dictator’s son President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. should pay thousands of human rights victims from his father’s Martial Law regime.Romualdez also said on Sunday that he does not want the controversy surrounding the supposed donation to overshadow the “significant milestone achieved” in introducing a Filipino language course at Harvard.
