Ombudsman, British Embassy ink MOA to fight corruption
07 January 2013

The Philippines’ Office of the Ombudsman and the British Embassy Manila entered into a Memorandum of Agreement on the Accountable Grant for the Conduct of Specialized Training Enhancement (SPECTRE) last January 7, 2013.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales and British Ambassador Stephen Lillie signed the MOA at the Office of the Ombudsman in Quezon City.

The MOA aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ombudsman’s office against corruption by enhancing the investigative and intelligence capability of field investigators through sustainable training program leading to at least 10% increase in disposition rate for corruption cases.

The MOA provides up to £45,000 (roughly Php 3 million) funding from the British Embassy for the SPECTRE training program.

Ombudsman Morales stressed that it is imperative to strengthen the investigative capability of OMB investigators who must be one step ahead in techniques, strategies, skills and technology in their work. She also said that there is a need in forging alliances and partnership with development partners like the British Embassy to combat corruption.

On the other hand, British Ambassador Lillie said, “We hope to continue supporting the Office of the Ombudsman, particularly in skills development. We believe that strengthening the capacity of investigators and prosecutors will help result in a stronger enforcement of the law and produce successful prosecution of more cases of corruption; ultimately improving the global perception of corruption in the Philippines,”

The SPECTRE is designed to continually reinforce, update and intensify the knowledge and capabilities of field investigators. The training is scheduled to begin on January 25, 2013 for the first batch.

Selected graduates of SPECTRE will further be trained as trainers to ensure sustainability.

The MOA takes effect upon signing by both parties

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
