Among others, the plaque cited Speaker Romualdez’s “unflagging interest to preserve the sanctity of the Constitution and the Rule of Law.”
He was hailed for his “purposeful leadership and untiring support” to the association, which enabled it to perform its role as the foremost champion of the Constitution.
The plaque was signed by retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno, Philconsa Chairman; Jose Leviste, Jr., Executive Vice President; and Atty. Michelle Lazaro, Secretary General of the organization.
