Sen. Francis Escudero’s legal question on Gutierrez’s stay


From inquirer.net

There is a proposal to revisit Sen. Francis Escudero’s legal question on Gutierrez’s stay. The Constitution pegs the ombudsman’s term at seven years, Escudero argued. Marcelo served for three years. Gutierrez had only four years to act as ombudsman. Her term, Escudero insisted, expired last October 2009.

It’s not that clear-cut, cautions UP professor Harry Roque, an ombudsman critic. RA 6770 states appointment is for a full term.
