This morning, Merceditas Gutierrez personally submitted to me her resignation as our
country’s Ombudsman, effective May 6.
Her action has spared the country from a long and divisive impeachment process that
would have distracted our lawmakers from dealing with the many problems we face
today.
It also paves the way for the appointment of a new Ombudsman.
I thank the House of Representatives. I now urge the Judicial and Bar Council to begin
the search for a new Ombudsman. With the support of the public, we can now
proceed more decisively in making government officials more accountable to their
bosses, the Filipino people.
Thank you.
