Newly appointed Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla outlines his commitment to prosecute those deserving, improve investigations, and seek legislative support for marshal deployment.
Jesus Crispin Remulla , the newly appointed Ombudsman , has pledged to prosecute individuals deserving of it, asserting his commitment to upholding justice. This declaration follows criticisms from various quarters, including those associated with former President Rodrigo Duterte and others who view his appointment with caution. Remulla emphasized his impartiality, stating his record will demonstrate that he is not influenced by any individual or group.
He highlighted his prior experience as Secretary of Justice, pointing out that he has previously held accountable even influential figures, underscoring his resolve to remain steadfast in his duties. His comments also reflect a dedication to ensuring that the investigation process is conducted in a timely and efficient manner while maintaining the necessary standards of accuracy. \Remulla, who was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., secured the position of Ombudsman after prevailing over six other shortlisted candidates. These included notable figures like Michael Aguinaldo and Stephen Cruz. The new Ombudsman outlined his plans to improve the investigation and case-building processes under his leadership. He stated that his office will prioritize the swift collection and presentation of sufficient evidence. Drawing upon his experience at the Department of Justice, Remulla expressed his intent to replicate the efficient investigation timelines previously achieved. The new Ombudsman stressed that the effectiveness of the evidence presented in court will be a critical factor in determining whether to file a case. Remulla clarified that the decision to file a case will be dependent on the strength of the supporting evidence and that this will be a test of whether the evidence supports a conviction. This approach reflects a commitment to preventing the filing of cases without adequate proof. The focus on ensuring a strong foundation of evidence aims to bolster the prosecution's ability to secure convictions in the Sandiganbayan or other courts. \Addressing legislative needs, Remulla indicated that he will seek the passage of a law granting the Ombudsman the authority to deploy marshals. This is proposed to enhance the Enforcement Group’s capabilities. The aim is to protect search warrants and other legal processes from leaks. The proposed marshals would function similarly to judicial marshals, assisting the Ombudsman's office in various activities. This measure aims to fortify investigations and ensure the integrity of the processes involved. The Ombudsman's fixed seven-year term will extend until 2032, offering stability in his role. He can be removed from office only through impeachment. His commitment to prosecuting those deserving it reflects a strong dedication to the principles of justice and accountability within the Philippine government. The reforms he aims to implement underscore his goal of strengthening the effectiveness of the Ombudsman's office and promoting integrity within the system
