President Marcos appointed Ombudsman Special Prosecutor and former Court of Appeals (CA) presiding justice Mariflor P. Punzalan-Castillo as officer-in-charge (OIC) of the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB).
Punzalan-Castillo's appointment as OIC was confirmed by the OMB's media bureau in a message to journalists on Monday, July 28.
She will serve as OIC until a new Ombudsman is appointed by the President from the nominees who will be submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC).
She took over the post as OIC from Ombudsman Samuel R. Martires who retired last July 27 after completing a fixed seven-year term.
The JBC said earlier there were 17 aspirants for the Ombudsman's post.
They are Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, SC Associate Justice Samuel Gaerlan, retired SC Associate Justice Mario Lopez, Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Geraldine Faith Econg and Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Michael Frederick Musngi.
