How long is the term of office for the Ombudsman and his Deputies, and can they be reappointed?
The Ombudsman and his Deputies serve for a fixed term of exactly seven years. To preserve their political independence and objectivity, they serve this term without the possibility of reappointment. This single-term limit ensures that they perform their investigative duties without seeking political favors for a second term. The specific duration of their tenure is dictated by Article XI, Section 11, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 11. The Ombudsman and his Deputies shall serve for a term of seven years without reappointment.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
