President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has appointed Secretary of Justice Jesus Crispin Remulla as the new Ombudsman following the end of Samuel R. Martires’ term in July.
Remulla, who has served as the 59th Secretary of Justice since June 2022, led key reforms in the justice system — from modernizing procedures and easing prison congestion to speeding up case resolutions and expanding access to legal services. His long career as a lawyer, legislator, and governor has earned him widespread respect for his integrity and dedication to public service.
The administration emphasized its continued fight against corruption. As Ombudsman, Remulla is expected to strengthen transparency, enforce anti-corruption measures, and ensure fair and efficient justice.
“There will be no sacred cows, no exemptions, and no excuses. Public office is a public trust, and those who betray it will be held accountable,” the President said.
President Marcos also reaffirmed that transparency, fairness, and the rule of law will guide the pursuit of a Bagong Pilipinas that truly serves the Filipino people.
