Office of the Ombudsman

The Office of the Ombudsman is currently handling the authentication of the "Cabral files," which allegedly contain evidence of corruption linked to DPWH budget insertions. It is also set to take over responsibilities from the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) after its commissioner resigned, signaling a shift in oversight of corruption investigations in the Philippines. The Ombudsman plays a key role in addressing graft cases, including recent charges against high-profile officials like Executive Secretary Ralph Recto.
