Ombudsman Remulla pushes Senate to enforce 2016 dismissal of Sen. Villanueva over P10M pork barrel scam, warning of constitutional crisis if ignored.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla plans to urge Senate President Vicente Sotto III to enforce a 2016 dismissal order against Senator Joel Villanueva over alleged misuse of P10 million in pork barrel funds in 2008, citing a “ghost project” involving fabricated documents.
Remulla warns that failing to act may trigger a constitutional crisis and says his office will seek a Supreme Court ruling to affirm the Ombudsman’s authority over lawmakers.
The order, issued by former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales, also imposed perpetual disqualification from public office.
Villanueva, linked to a separate flood control kickback scandal, has not responded publicly.
