DO Mosquera bares plans for OMB-Luzon
15 June 2012

          Newly-appointed Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon Gerard Mosquera vows to strengthen OMB-Luzon’s field investigation and the prosecution of cases to increase its chances of securing a conviction in support of the eight-point roadmap of the Office of the Ombudsman.

          Speaking during the Office of the Ombudsman’s weekly radio program, “Ombudsman Ngayon”, DO Mosquera likened the two components to a double-barreled shotgun. “Kung malakas ang ebidensiyang nakalap ng field investigators, at mahuhusay ang ating mga prosecutors, mas malaki ang chances to secure convictions”. “Ombudsman Ngayon” airs every Wednesday, 10-11 am over government-run radio station DZRB- Radyo ng Bayan (738 khz).

          He said that upon his assumption as DO for Luzon, his observation was that “we have a very strong manpower complement”, although he was quick to acknowledge that OMB-Luzon may need around 20 – 30 lawyers to attain and sustain a zero-backlog in the disposition of cases, which is among Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales’ eight-point agenda.

          DO Mosquera also said he has ordered an inventory of all pending cases before OMB-Luzon, leading to a mapping of cases, to determine the areas in his jurisdiction where the bulk of said cases originate. He said this will help him ascertain how to prioritize. “Dito natin malalaman kung saan ilalagay ang limited resources na meron tayo to achieve a certain level of impact”, he said.

          He also bared plans to promote ongoing reforms in OMB-Luzon, “may konting innovation, konting addition”, to make it more effective.

          He said he also intends to aggressively pursue at the OMB-Luzon the “Oplan Multo sa Gobyerno”, one of the pioneer anti-corruption programs of Ombudsman Morales now being implemented at the OMB Central Office. The program aims to weed the bureaucracy of ghost employees. He said though that it has to undergo review to make it “custom-fit” into the needs of OMB-Luzon because of its unique geographical framework.

          The former Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) Commissioner said his appointment as DO for Luzon is both a blessing and an opportunity to help in the battle against graft and corruption which is now gaining ground.

          He said it is also a great challenge “especially since Ombudsman Morales has set a very high standard in the battle against corruption and it is a unique honor and privilege to serve under her at this precise period in our country’s history”.

          DO Mosquera said he intends to promote a whistle-blowing culture by encouraging well-meaning civic-minded citizens to report through text or email corrupt activities particularly ghost employees in government agencies and unlawful acquisition of wealth by public officials and employees. He said, “pag merong nakitang katiwalian, it’s our civic duty, hindi lang pagkuwentuhan, kung hindi magsumbong, para magkaroon ng pagbabago.”

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.
