Daniel Zialcita Romualdez (September 11, 1907 – March 22, 1965) was a Filipino politician who served as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 1957 to 1962. He was first cousin to former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos.

Early life

Daniel "Danieling" Romualdez was born in Tolosa, Leyte. He was enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas in Sampaloc, Manila and obtained his law degree in 1931.

Ancestors

Romualdez' father was Don Miguel Lopez Romualdez, assemblyman for Leyte and Mayor of Manila[1] during World War Two. His mother was Brigida Zialcita of Manila.

Romualdez' father was the second of the three sons of Trinidad "Tidad" Lopez, eldest daughter of Spanish friar, Don Francisco Lopez of Granada, Spain (later of Burauen, Leyte), and Daniel Romualdez of Pandacan, Manila, a tuberculosis survivor and Cabeza de Barangay. His paternal grandfather Daniel was owner of the Malacañang Gardens, the huge expanse of land dedicated to entertaining guests of Philippine presidents.

Philippine Supreme Court Associate Justice Norberto Romuáldez was his uncle. Another uncle, Dean Vicente Orestes Romualdez y Lopez, was the father of Imelda Marcos and current Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez.

Romualdez' great-grandfather was involved in the Sumoroy Revolt but narrowly escaped Spanish execution when he was allowed by David Dula to visit his ailing mother.

Family

Romualdez' siblings include Attorney Estela Zialcita Romualdez Sulit married to Mariano Sulit, Miguel Zialcita Romualdez Jr. married to Cecilia Planas (distantly related to Rosario Planas), Alberto Zialcita Romualdez married to the Spanish mestiza Covadonga del Gallego of Paco, Manila (their son is former Department of Health Secretary Alberto G. Romualdez), Amelia Zialcita Romualdez Janairo married to Maximiano Janairo, Froilan Zialcita Romualdez married to Josefina Cervo and Philippine Central Bank Governor Eduardo Romualdez married to Concepcion Veloso, popularly nicknamed Conchita, who also hailed from a powerful Leyte political family.

He was married to Paz "Pacing" Gueco of Magalang, Pampanga, member of the Kahirup, an aunt of Benigno Aquino Jr. from nearby Concepcion, Tarlac, and heiress to vast tracts of ricelands from her Chinese-Filipino Gueco clan. He has four daughters.

Seeing the potential of his cousin Imelda Marcos, who was by then the undisputed Rose of Tacloban title holder and was renowned throughout the provinces for her singing voice, Danieling and other cousin Loreto Romualdez Ramos brought Imelda to Manila.

His first cousin once removed, Daniel Gomez Romualdez, was a New York City architect and son of former ambassador and governor Benjamin Trinidad Romualdez (brother of Imelda Marcos) and that of the son of Froilan Romualdez and Josefina Cerbo named Daniel Cerbo Romualdez.

Political career

Romualdezes were original members of the Nacionalista Party and his old home on Dapitan Street Extension, Quezon City, was its regular meeting place.

Romualdez first entered politics in 1949 when he was elected to represent the Fourth District of Leyte in the House of Representatives. A member of the Nacionalista Party, Romualdez was re-elected in 1953 and 1957. In 1961, Romualdez was elected Representative of the First District of Leyte.

During the 3rd Congress of the Philippines, Romualdez served as Speaker Pro-Tempore. After House Speaker Jose Laurel, Jr. vacated his congressional seat in 1957 following an unsuccessful bid for the Vice-Presidency, Romualdez replaced him as Speaker upon the opening of the 4th Congress in 1957. Romualdez served as Speaker until March 1962, when his Nacionalista Party ceded its congressional majority to the Liberal Party. Cornelio Villareal succeeded him as Speaker. Romualdez assumed the post of Minority Floor Leader, in which capacity he was serving upon his death in office from a heart attack in 1965.[2]
