MANILA, Philippines — Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Friday said the anti-graft body will do its best to recover ill-gotten wealth “hidden” in the United States.
Remulla made the remark in a town hall meeting where he and Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez met with members of the Filipino community officials of the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C. on June 22.
“We are here to make sure the US is no longer a safe haven for ill-gotten wealth from the Philippines. We will do what we can to recover all that has been hidden here in the US,” Remulla was quoted as saying in a statement on Friday.
