                    [Title] => Deputy ombudsman to inhibit self from board
                    [Summary] => CEBU CITY — Sincere about going through an investigation and clearing his name, Deputy Ombudsman for the Visayas Primo Miro said he will inhibit himself from the Internal Affairs Board of which he is a member.


Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo has ordered the board to investigate Miro after he modified a decision that eventually cleared two Customs officials of liability for the mysterious disappearance of M/V Great Faith. 


The ship was seized for its load of smuggled rice but disappeared while under Customs custody.
