Does the appointment of the Ombudsman or his Deputies require confirmation by the Commission on Appointments?
No, the appointment of the Ombudsman and his Deputies does not require confirmation by the Commission on Appointments. Once the President selects a nominee from the list provided by the Judicial and Bar Council, the appointment is considered final. Furthermore, the Constitution mandates that all vacancies must be filled within three months after they occur. This exemption from congressional confirmation is specified in Article XI, Section 9, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Such appointments shall require no confirmation. All vacancies shall be filled within three months after they occur.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
