Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla tells the Supreme Court to act on a pending administrative complaint involving seven current Court of Appeals (CA) justices. Remulla says he is seeking an update after his office was advised to file charges against alleged erring members of the judiciary, and he directs the matter to the SC for appropriate action.
According to reports, the complaint was filed last year by Remulla’s predecessor, Samuel Martires, in March. Both outlets describe Remulla’s request as aimed at prompting the SC to decide or move forward on the case, which remains pending. One account also references Remulla’s call for the SC to undertake “soul-searching,” while the other focuses on his request for action and follow-through.
The outlets agree on the core details: the parties involved, the complaint’s filing timeframe, and that the matter is still before the Supreme Court without reported resolution or disposition as of the time of publication.
