The Sandiganbayan has ordered officials from the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology to testify regarding the detention status of Romualdez. 

During the court proceedings, justices directed BJMP representatives to appear and provide official accounts concerning the current custody conditions and legal parameters governing his detention.

The directive aims to clarify specific matters raised regarding institutional procedures and custody protocols. Legal counsels from both sides are expected to address the testimonies as the anti-graft court reviews the pending motions.
