Lifestyle checks
The Philippine Star
|August 28, 2025
EDITORIAL
-
The previous ombudsman, Samuel Martires, had stopped the conduct of lifestyle checks on officials suspected of corruption. He said such checks are "illogical" and provide opportunities for extortion.
Defending the ombudsman's budget before Congress in 2020, Martires told lawmakers: "We have to redefine what is living beyond your means. What is simple living to me may not be simple living to you or anyone."
Yesterday, President Marcos opened a window to prove Martires wrong, and show what can be done. Amid anomalies involving flood control projects, the President has ordered lifestyle checks on government officials, starting with those in the Department of Public Works and Highways.
