Published June 1, 2021, 2:14 PM Supreme Court (SC) The Supreme Court (SC) has declared that the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), the government’s law office, “has no power of control or supervision” over the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB), an independent constitutional body. It also said that the OSG’s authority to represent the government is not plenary or all-encompassing as it pointed out that the mandate to represent the government before the Sandiganbayan generally lies with the OMB. With its declaration, the SC dismissed the petition filed by the OSG which challenged the plea bargaining agreement in 2010 between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) of the OMB and retired Maj. Gen.Carlos F. Garcia, former comptroller of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
