By MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte is not in favor of the appointment of former Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla as the new ombudsman.
“If I were president, I wouldn’t appoint him as ombudsman,” Duterte, speaking in Filipino, said in an interview in Mati, Davao Oriental, on Saturday, as she visited the residents affected by earthquakes.
When asked about the recent statement of Remulla about his willingness to review her Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN), Duterte said: “Don’t let him peek. My God. Don’t let him peek. Put it in front of him and study it carefully, whatever he wants to do.”
