'May the Office of the Ombudsman finally get up from its comfy chair and do something worth the pay, or else it might as well change its name to the Office of the Accomplice, the enabler of state-sponsored Badoyism.' Opinion ThoughtLeaders
It’s supposed to be the watchdog of the land, the in-house monitor of the government, making sure everyone stays in line and plays by the rules, but it’s been more like a lazy puppy just lounging around.
So, IBON wanted the Ombudsman to step in and put a stop to it. But instead, it passed the complaint on to the National Bureau of Investigation . The Ombudsman’s response only added to the absurdity of the situation. As a matter of principle, IBON won’t file a libel complaint because it has been consistent in its advocacy for the decriminalization of the draconian and archaic law, which has been used, time and again, to reduce the judicial system into a tool for stifling freedom of expression and dissent.
The Ombudsman was more tight-lipped than a clam at high tide, and every time IBON thought it was getting close to seeing some action, they would slip away. Have you ever heard of a PhD in “World Domination”? Or a Master’s degree in “Being the Most Amazing Person Ever”? This guy is one-of-a-kind, and the universities of the world just can’t keep up with his awesomeness.
The message is, “Step right up, bullies! We have the resources you need to get your intimidation game going!”
