Search for next Luzon deputy ombudsman starts

Edu Punay - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) has started the process of filling a position in the Office of the Ombudsman that will be vacated by Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon Gerard Mosquera.

In an announcement published in The STAR yesterday, the JBC opened the nomination and application for the next deputy ombudsman for Luzon.

Applicants have until April 17 to submit their applications or nominations to the council’s office at the Centennial Building of the Supreme Court (SC) in Manila.

This will be the second appointment of President Duterte in the anti-graft office after appointing SC Associate Justice Samuel Martires as ombudsman last year.

Mosquera, who was appointed by former president Benigno Aquino III in 2012, will retire on June 1 after completing the seven-year term in office.

The JBC also set the public interview of nominees for four vacancies in the Court of Appeals (CA) and two in the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA).

The interview for 39 applicants in the CA and CTA posts will be conducted daily from March 12 to 20.
