Le médiateur marque son 38e anniversaire en appelant à l'espoir en pleine crise

Le médiateur Jesus Crispin Remulla a marqué le 38e anniversaire de son bureau en rappelant aux Philippins que l'espoir demeure aux Philippines malgré les crises actuelles.

La célébration comprenait une messe présidée par le père Flaviano Villanueva, qui a décrit le médiateur comme une conscience inébranlable du pays. Il a déclaré que le bureau devait préserver le courage moral au sein de la gouvernance et ne pas se limiter à enquêter sur les actes répréhensibles. Remulla a noté que travailler au bureau du médiateur exige du courage moral, de l'intégrité et de la ténacité pour éradiquer la corruption et faire ce qui est juste et équitable. L'ancien médiateur adjoint général Melchor Carandang a assisté à l'événement. La troisième division de la Cour suprême avait précédemment annulé le licenciement de Carandang sous l'administration Duterte et invalidé une décision de 2018 qui le tenait responsable de la divulgation de transactions bancaires présumées de l'ancien président Rodrigo Duterte.
