“When the whole country knows what you did, the results are better than Ozempic. Hindi pala gym ang sikreto,” the actor said.

As of this writing, Romualdez has not released any official statement addressing Edu’s remarks. His camp has also remained silent regarding the social media post that continues to circulate online.
The exchange highlights how public figures, whether from politics or entertainment, can easily spark widespread discussion with just a single post, especially when it touches on issues of governance, accountability, and public scrutiny.
