“90% of the complaints filed in front of the political motivated ombudsman”

Ombudsman Samuel Martys said that 90 percent of complaints compared to his function before the 2025 elections are politically motivated.

He issued the statement following several cases in front of his function, including the accusations of graft against Mayor Marikina, Marcy Teodoro and his wife, Rep. Maan Teodoro, who represents the first district of the city in the Chamber of Representatives.

Martores said that the Ombudsman’s office attaches importance to all complaints.

However, he said that 90 percent of the cases are related to politics.

“We analyze these cases and reject the without basis,” he said in a radio interview.

According to the law of the Ombudsman of 1989, the Office of Ombudsman can, on his own, or on the complaint by anyone, investigate documents or omissions by public officers or employees, offices or agencies.

Ombudsman’s office can file a file in court if it considers it a probable cause.

Mayor Teodoro promised to cooperate with the Ombudsman Office in the complaint of the graft filed against them by Rico Mariano.

“After we receive the official copy of the complaint filed in front of the Ombudsman Office, we will officially respond to all the accusations against us,” he said.

“Anyone can file a complaint, but it is our duty to address any accusation with transparency and in accordance with the appropriate process,” he added.
