IF APPOINTED OMBUDSMAN Remulla to allow SALN access but with caution
The Freeman
|September 03, 2025
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said that if he is appointed as Ombudsman, he will allow access to government officials' Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN).
In an ambush interview with reporters on Tuesday, September 2, following the Ombudsman application interview with the Judicial and Bar Council, Remulla said that he will allow access to SALN as long as it will not be used to harass public officials.
"It should not be used for villification purposes, it should not be used for blackmail,...the problem here is that people can be kidnapped if you reveal what is there," Remulla said in an ambush interview.
"So you have to be careful about this information, but it can be done, if it is an investigative report, if it is something that's being done by government agencies.. It can be done, we can provide the SALN, as long as it's with proper safeguard," he added.
