MANILA, Philippines — Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales Wednesday refused to comment on the impeachment complaint lodged against her by various groups led by the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption. Morales, who is set to retire in July 2018, has earlier said that she is not worried about any impeachment complaint. In an interview with reporters last month, Morales maintained that she always “go by the evidence” in deciding on the cases to be filed in court against former and incumbent government officials. But in a statement issued after Carandang's claim hit the headlines, the AMLC denied providing any bank records to the ombudsman. “No comment,” Carandang simply told reporters last month when asked for clarification on how his office obtained Duterte's bank records.
