I do wish there were more editorial meat here...aren't there any details about his election campaigns? has he announced any plans for the future since his unsuccessful Senate bid? (and so on)

Updated the article with the details of his campaign. However, there were no statements coming from him since his lost. I'll put his sister's statement. ~Manila's PogingJuan09:34, 29 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Much better. I'll be reading through the article today/tomorrow - if I don't find something I missed in my previous work on the article I should be able to then finish up this Review.

Congratulations, it's a
WP:GA. Going forward just make sure you keep the article updated with any changes - sounds like Romulo will probably be involved with public service/running for office in the future.

@
PogingJuan: Thanks for the recent corrections, there are some other issues:
There is some trivia/extraneous detail in the Personal life section. The list of people at the wedding and that Romulo's wife has had difficulty getting pregnant should both be removed.
Prose/grammar issues in Early life and education section, (changes are in brackets [] ):
Romulo was born on February 28, 1967 in Quezon City [and is] the third of the five children of diplomat and politician Alberto Romulo and Rosie Lovely Tecson. [The following sentence should be removed, the names of Romulo's siblings are unneeded, they are private individuals and there is some expectation of privacy. He has four siblings, namely: Guadalupe, Monserrat, Bernadette, and Erwin.] [His father] was a former Senator, Budget Secretary, Finance Secretary, Executive Secretary, and Foreign Affairs Secretary.
The following sentences are confusing.
Romulo attended Ateneo de Manila University for his primary education
[the phrase "primary education" is understood differently in other countries. In the US, for instance, primary education can refer to grade school or elementary school. You could possibly mean this is where Romulo studied for his
Bachelors degree but I think you mean grade school/elementary school. If so, there needs to be some type of additional info - this cannot be the actual University Romulo attended but rather an associated school for young children]
where he graduated in 1981, and attended PAREF Southridge School for his secondary education, where he graduated in 1985.
[too many "wheres" in a row]
He took [a] Bachelor's Degree in Economics at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City and graduated in 1990. He also obtained [a] Bachelor of Laws degree at the U.P. College of Law in 1994.
@
PogingJuan: I realized upon my most recent proofing-readthrough that there were a few issues I had missed previously:
According to the
WP:MOS/
External links guideline URLs/weblinks can't be linked to within the article text.
In the
Early career section there are two occurrences where
http://www.syciplaw.com/ was used. Those URLs should be deleted and the sentence written as something like:
Romulo worked as an
associate lawyer at Quisumbing Torres & Evangelista Law Offices and at Sycip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan Law Offices from 1994 to 1999 and as a
senior associate lawyer at Sycip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan from 1999 to 2007. He was one of the founding
partners of Tolosa, Romulo, Agabin, Flores & Enriquez Law Offices.[1] in 2005.
The above is just an example - feel free to put the paragraph into your own words. I deleted the statement about his training in Italy because that information is not supported by the cited reference. I also made some minor grammatical changes when I was looking over the article today. As soon as you can deal with the above issues I think I will be able to finish up my Review within a day or two.
