PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. named Deputy Ombudsman for Visayas Dante F. Vargas as the acting Ombudsman as the Judicial Bar and Council set interviews for the next appointee from Aug. 28 until Sept. 2.

This was confirmed in a message to reporters from the Office of the Ombudsman.

Mr. Vargas was appointed in 2022 by former President Rodrigo R. Duterte. He has a fixed term of 7 years.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday announced the schedule of public interviews for nominees seeking to replace Ombudsman Samuel R. Martires, who retired last month.

Mr. Martires stepped down on July 27 after completing his seven-year term. Before heading the anti-graft office, he served as a Supreme Court associate justice, Sandiganbayan justice, and regional trial court judge. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana
