Mental health problems that everyone experiences should not be taken as a joke, because they have a root cause: overwhelming sadness and life's problems. According to Romualdez psychiatrist Dr. Lourdes Ignacio, he is currently suffering from depressive disorder and anxiety. But, sudden mental health issues in the middle of the trial in the alleged P7.4-billion plunder case and other charges of looting the public funds? Nonsense.

Mr. Romualdez, don’t you ever use the so-called sickness and mental health problems to escape accountability. You don't have the right to experience mental health problems because you're happy, right? Don’t you remember how happy you were back then while you were squandering and pocketing the public funds?

Your smile reaches the sky while the Filipino people suffer from your greed. Because while you're drowning in the amount of money you received from kickbacks, Filipinos are also drowning in flood damage that could have been reduced if some of the government's flood control projects had been properly carried out. But no, you together with other officials, acted as a monster and ate all of the funds.

During the State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., he also pointed out corrupt officials of the government by saying “mahiya naman kayo.” They really should be ashamed of themselves, especially you, Romualdez. You are one of the monsters at the top of the triangle. So monsters like you should no longer be allowed to escape the taste of justice. Taste the bitterness of justice and the price you must pay for all your sins to the masses. As well as the other government officials who choose the path of greed over serving the people.

But according to his psychiatrist, the mental health issues he's experiencing aren't faked and are real. However, the public is no longer blind and won't be fooled. The accused officials keep repeating the same scripts. They suddenly fall ill whenever justice is about to arrive. Same tactics and old scripts.

Let's not fall for the tactics of politicians like the big fish—Romualdez who want nothing more than to evade accountability. Because a hospital shouldn't be a place to escape justice. Don't complain that you're sick and therefore shouldn't be jailed. Because in this world, you're not always on top. You will fall and collapse when justice comes calling.
