MANILA — Ombudsman Samuel Martires on Tuesday said he is open to the proposal of reviving the assignment of a resident ombudsman in government offices as another anti-corruption measure.

His comment came after Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra proposed the idea of having a resident ombudsman in various agencies of the executive department.

Martires said that the practice of having a resident ombudsman deployed in government offices was eventually scrapped by former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales. “Hindi kami puwede mag e-filing kasi may mga kasamang ebidensya eh, mga records kaya di uubra ang e-filing sa amin,” Martires said. “Nag-aksaya ka ng panahon, nag-aksaya ka ng papel para ano? Para ipangalandakan mo sa publiko na andami kong naifile na kaso? Hindi ko gawain 'yun,” Martires said.“Kaya nga sabi ko baka mamaya darating ang panahon maging useless ang Sandiganbayan kasi nag-add pa sila ng dalawang divisions from 5 to 7, wala na silang rason para ‘di makatapos kasi with expanded jurisdiction of RTC 'yung bulk ng cases napupunta ngayon sa RTC,” Martires said.
