HINDI man hayagan, tila dude kay Ombudsman Samuel Martires si House Deputy Minority Leader at ACT Teachers partylist Rep. France Castro kaugnay ng reklamong isinampa laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte..
“We would just like to warn the Ombudsman that being a Duterte appointee the people are extra vigilant in watching him as they fear that there may be a whitewash of the case against VP Duterte even if the evidence are overwhelming,” wika ni Castro.
Iginiit rin ni Castro na magkahiwalay ang impeachment case at rekomendasyon na samapahan ng kasong kriminal si Duterte.
“We welcome the move of the Ombudsman on the criminal cases against VP Duterte even as the impeachment proceedings take their course. Hindi dapat maging one or the other,” ng militanteng kongresista.
“Impeachment is removal from office and perpetual disqualification. The criminal case meanwhile is for imprisonment and the mere fact that she is asked to explain means it has sound basis. It can also be done by the Ombudsman motu propio as stated in Republic Act No. 6770 (the Ombudsman Act of 1989) and the Constitution,” dagdag pa nito.
“This need not be a case of choosing one over the other. Let the separate proceedings reach their logical conclusion – conviction,” aniya pa. Tatlong araw matapos matanggap ang ulat ng House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability ay naglabas ng utos ng Ombudsman at pinasasagot si Duterte. Duda ang ilan sa hakbang na ito, dahil napakabilis umano ng naging aksyon ng Ombudsman.
