I AM BACK: Atty Buenaventura Go-Soco Jr. Column

The “downgrading” of Leyte First District Congressman Ferdinand Martin Romualdez from Speaker to simply Congressman must have sent shivers down the spines of many elective officials in Leyte and Samar. Everyone is asking:  What happens now? Will the present focus on corruption issues be the start of a shakeup in politics in this part of the country, or more specifically, in the first district of Leyte?
