Ombudsman Remulla and NBI Director Matibag Remain in Office Despite Resignation Demands
Official government records and media coverage confirm that Ombudsman Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Melvin Matibag have not resigned from their positions.
Reports circulating on social media claiming their resignations are false.
• Origin of Demands:
• The public calls for resignation were voiced by legal commentator Atty. Virgilio "Lito" Garcia during a Kape at Pandesal press forum, where he criticized government oversight and called on both officials along with DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla to step down.
• Social Media Misinformation:
• Excerpts from the forum were redistributed across social media platforms like Facebook with overlay text framing the commentator's opinion as an official resignation announcement.
• Active Status:
• Fact-checking entities and official updates confirm that both Ombudsman Remulla and NBI Director Matibag remain actively in power, carrying out their standard agency duties.
