House panel ruling proves Ombudsman doing job—exec
MANILA, Philippines – The Office of the Ombudsman was pleased to know that the House of Representatives was able to see through the impeachment complaint against Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, an official said Tuesday.
“We are happy that an absolute majority of the House committee on justice was able to see through the impeachment complaint filed against Ombudsman Ma. Merceditas N. Gutierrez,” assistant ombudsman Jose T. de Jesus, Jr. said.
"This proves that indeed, the Ombudsman has not been remiss of her duties, and that she diligently performs her functions as mandated by the Constitution," De Jesus said.
De Jesus said with the impeachment dismissed, “everybody can now focus on the more important issues besetting our country.”
