Ombuds gears up for launch of anti-corruption drive

Dubbed as the National Anti-Corruption Program of Action road show, the campaign is slated on the 19th of October. The campaign has been aptly themed, "Katiwalian ay Labanan, Maging Tapat sa Bayan."

"We aim to provide an avenue for effective consultations and coordination among key anti-corruption players, to streamline and strengthen anti-corruption commitments of the public and private sector," Deputy Ombudsman for Mindanao Humphrey Monteroso told Sun.Star Davao.

Under the Nacpa, a consultative body has been formed, the Multi-Sectoral Anti-Corruption Council.

One of the highlights of the road show would be the booth exhibits of the Ombudsman, Land Transportation Office, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Trade and Industry, Social Security System, PhilHealth, and other government agencies. Help desks and public assistance centers from the aforementioned government agencies would be made available to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Mindanao Business Council would also take part in the exhibit.
