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.

[6][7][8] His father was once named by Forbes as the 30th richest man in the Philippines with a net worth of ₱3.3 billion, which the Presidential Commission on Good Government claimed was ill-gotten.

On July 10, 2020, Martin and his wife Yedda Marie Romualdez were among the 70 congressmen who voted to reject the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN.

[31] Under Romualdez's watch, the House denied Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte's requests for confidential funds that could be used for the Education department's proposed Reserve Officers' Training Corps program[32] but swiftly passed the same funds for the Office of the President;[33] this led Sara's father and former President Rodrigo Duterte to allege a connivance between Romualdez and the leftist Makabayan Bloc in stripping Sara of confidential funds.

[42] A month later, the National Telecommunications Commission imposed a 30-day suspension on SMNI, a media network which hosted Rodrigo Duterte's platform Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa, after the House adopted a resolution filed by PBA Partylist Representative Margarita Nograles, who claimed that the network was propagating false information.

[43] Two hosts of another SMNI talk show, Laban Kasama ang Bayan, were detained and cited in contempt by the House after one of its hosts–Jeffrey Celiz–refused to reveal his source for his claim that Romualdez had ₱1.8 billion worth of travel funds.

Under the agreement, Duterte agreed to maintain the "status quo" in the South China Sea to avoid escalating a war.

[45] Efforts to amend the Constitution intensified in January 2024 after pro-Charter change group, People's Initiative for Reform Modernization and Action (PIRMA), admitted talking with Romualdez and claimed responsibility for a signature drive campaign that attempted to start a People's Initiative.

[47] The signature drive has been marred by allegations of vote-buying,[48] and by evening of January 23, the proponents claimed to have achieved the required minimum 12 percent of national voters threshold.

[49] Romualdez denied spearheading the initiative, although a video evidence showing the opposite was later disclosed by Senator Francis Escudero.

[51] Romualdez married Yedda Marie Kittilstvedt, who represented the Philippines at Miss International 1996, in civil rites in Hong Kong in November 1999, with a church wedding following at Santuario de San Antonio in Forbes Park, Makati on February 4, 2001.
