'Why blame me?' Ombudsman defends decision to restrict access to SALN anew

Ombudsman Samuel Martires again defended his decision to restrict access to the statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth of public officials, saying other offices also have guidelines for the release of SALNs.

The SALNs under the custody of the Office of the Ombudsman are of the president, vice president, heads of constitutional commissions, deputy ombudsman, local officials, select uniformed personnel, and presidents of state universities.“Why are we so interested only in the SALN of the President? Why are we not interested in the SALN of the Vice President, in the SALN of senators and congressmen, and other constitutional officers? What is wrong? Are we selective?” he said.

"I studied the SALN law and I found out that while the law expressly states that the public has the right of access to information, the law did not provide a provision restricting the issuance of a regulation," he said. The Office of the Ombudsman earlier proposed amendments that would limit the media's use of the SALNs only to"reporting of facts provided in the statement and no further commentaries could be made thereon."

Diba marcos kwan ka?

Marteris I believed you are not fit in your position... You are a protector of politician or high public official and not in this country... Maraming corrupt sa gobyerno kaysa ordinaryong tao at hindi mabuhay sa Piso lang. Kung ayaw maglabas nang SALN huwag mag silbi sa bayan.

Typical puppy of Dutete

Ano bang trabaho mo as ombudsman?

Yung SALN po ay panglaban sa mga kawatan sa gobyerno. Kayo po ang dapat mamuno sa pag-tugis ng mga kawatan. Kung ipag-kakait nyo po iyan, paano mahababol ang mga kawatan?

Meron pa bang iba?

🤣😂🤣😂ano nga ba function ng Ombudsman?

Duterte’s lackey 1.

Can can someone sue the Ombudsman?

As a goodwill gesture, I wish to send you flowers and candles, Martires.
