Ferdinand Martin Gomez Romualdez (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈgɔmɛs ɾoˈmwɐldɛs], born November 14, 1963) is a Filipino businessman, lawyer and politician serving as the Speaker of the House of Representatives since 2022. He is also serving as the representative for the 1st district of Leyte since 2019 and previously from 2007 to 2016. He formerly served as the House Majority Leader from 2019 to 2022, and unsuccessfully ran for senator in the 2016 elections.[3] He is a first cousin of President Bongbong Marcos.
Romualdez is the owner of the newspaper companies Manila Standard and Journal Group of Publications and the mass media firm Philippine Collective Media Corporation.[4] He is the national president of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats political party.[5]
Romualdez served as co-campaign manager for Sara Duterte's successful 2022 vice presidential campaign. Since the election, however, Duterte has grown antagonistic to Romualdez amidst a rift between the Marcos and Duterte political families.[6][7][8][9]
