00:00The Ombudsman's Office will remain neutral and focused on building strong partnerships with key institutions.
00:07Efforts will also be made to improve digital systems, promote efficiency, and ensure proper enforcement to fight corruption, Rod Lagusa reports.
00:18The Ombudsman's Office will refuse to be a weapon of politics.
00:22This was among the points emphasized by Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Rimulia regarding the national strategy that the Office of the Ombudsman aims to implement and complete by February.
00:32He said it is necessary for the Office of the Ombudsman to have a strong working relationship with the Commission on Elections and Commission on Audit.
00:38With our institutions working harmoniously and professionally, we ensure sustainability.
00:45The judiciary on the other side of the fence ensures fairness.
00:50At the same time, Rimulia said it is important to foster a culture of discipline.
00:54He said it is essential that every day there are tasks completed.
00:58Because corruption wins when government slows down.
01:02It grows in the cracks of delay.
01:05In the silence of inaction, we defeat corruption by refusing to waste time.
01:10In addition, the Office of the Ombudsman will also focus on digitalization.
01:14According to Rimulia, corruption develops when data is weak and when the paper trail disappears.
01:18Which is why he said it is important to establish a digital ombudsman.
01:22This includes having integrated cell and systems, digital forensics, tamper-proof records,
01:27AA-supported verification, and ensuring investigations are conducted properly.
01:32The Office of the Ombudsman also wants to have its own marshal.
