According to Co, Romualdez also received calls saying that it was dangerous for him to return home. The former Speaker even said that he might be robbed or attacked, or that he might be killed while in jail.

Co left a message in the video: he said he hopes he won't get killed before he can release all the evidence. He also urged the Ombudsman and Senate to investigate Romualdez and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. once he passes the documents.
Romualdez did not directly respond to the accusation. He said he did nothing wrong and was confident that investigators would follow the evidence. The Ombudsman also encouraged Co to submit a sworn statement and not just a video.
Co further claimed that the money involved was larger—not ₱21 billion but ₱56 billion, and he said it went to Marcos and Romualdez, but no documents were presented. Co had earlier accused the two of ordering the ₱100 billion insertion and allegedly delivering a suitcase of money. Marcos and Romualdez vehemently denied this.
