What happens when an Ombudsman who survived a near-death health crisis is suddenly faced with one of the biggest corruption tests of his tenure? Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla survived major heart surgery and leukemia before returning to public service cancer-free, and has since described his recovery as a second chance at life while promising an Ombudsman with “no sacred cows, no exemptions, and no excuses.”
In their podcast, PGMN Founder Franco Mabanta and PGMN Anchor Jourdan Sebastian argue that this may have changed how Remulla looks at power, money and legacy. With the Ombudsman now pursuing proceedings involving former House Speaker Martin Romualdez and other respondents over the flood-control scandal, Mabanta says the case could become one of the clearest tests of whether Remulla follows through on that promise when the person under scrutiny is among the most powerful figures in Philippine politics.
