Remulla Wants an ‘Ombudsman Marshal’? Bago tayo pumalakpak, tanungin muna natin: Who will guard the guardian?
Ombudsman Boying Remulla revealed that the Inter-Agency Coordinating Initiative (ICI) was formed because the Ombudsman office was “inactive” — and may disappear in just two months once new lawyers are hired. Rob Rances reacts with a sharp satirical punch: “So, ICI is a prank!” This commentary exposes how temporary, reactive governance leads to confusion and mistrust. While current officials experiment with short-lived agencies, Filipinos continue to look back at Duterte-era discipline, structure, and long-term planning. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” Strong leadership is strategic — not seasonal.
