About this document
Role of the Ombudsman in the Philippines by Bebi Boo Matel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The 1987 Philippine Constitution created a new Office of the Ombudsman to replace the Tanodbayan, granting it powers to independently prosecute erring public officers and enforce anti-graft laws. As the "Protector of the People", the Ombudsman is constitutionally mandated to provide public assistance, prevent graft, investigate, prosecute cases, and conduct administrative adjudication. Its role is to monitor government officials and employees as a watchdog for the people.
