Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco on Tuesday testified that he saw more than ₱26 billion in alleged insertions in the Department of Public Works and Highways' (DPWH) 2025 budget but acknowledged having no personal knowledge of alleged cash deliveries to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Tiangco made the admission during the hearing of Romualdez's plunder bail petition before the Sandiganbayan Third Division on Nov. 11.

According to a report by RH Val Gonzales, Tiangco said his assessment of the alleged budget insertions was based on Excel files from former DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral, Quezon Rep. Jay-Jay Suarez and his own suspicions.

The Navotas lawmaker also told the court that he had no personal knowledge of whether cash was delivered to Romualdez, how the alleged list of deliveries was prepared or whether the former speaker received any commissions.
