Cayetano, the Senate’s representative in the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC), said these qualities are “vital in detecting corruption at its earliest stages and acting before scandals erupt.”
The senator made the remark after interviewing the first batch of Ombudsman applicants, whose screening would run until Sept. 2.
Cayetano, chairman of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights, said the office of the Ombudsman is not a prize but a responsibility. “It’s not a reward. It’s a tool for you to get something done. And, usually, that something is a problem that you can solve.”
