Newly appointed Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla has vowed to revisit the controversial Pharmally corruption case, which was earlier investigated by the Senate over allegedly overpriced COVID-19 medical supplies worth more than ₱10 billion.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, October 9, after taking his oath as Ombudsman, Remulla said the case deserves renewed attention.
“Sisilipin natin yan kasi nga parang nalimutan na eh, naibaon sa limot. Pero hindi dapat makalimutan talaga itong mga ganitong kaso. Kasi alam natin, mabigat ang alingawngaw at maraming nagsasabi na may nangyari nga masama doon,” Remulla said.
He added that while the Senate once conducted hearings on the matter, progress had since stalled. “Merong naging pagdinig ang senado, ngunit hindi na umandar mula doon. Kaya kailangan bisitahin natin,” he noted.
Remulla stressed the importance of accountability and transparency, saying that cases like Pharmally should never be buried and forgotten.
