Noynoy and his boys in Malacañang always appear to go about things the wrong way. Two days ago, at a press briefing, Noynoy’s spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, bared that the Palace is looking at forcing Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez to resign, and failing that, would seek her impeachment in the House of Representatives, through their ruling Liberal Party congressmen-allies. A third option would be to question Gutierrez’s status as Ombudsman before the courts, on account of her having overstayed in her position, since Malacañang says, she was appointed Ombudsman by Gloria Arroyo, and is to merely continue the term of her predecessor, Simeon Marcelo, who had resigned after two years in the post. And they in Malacañang want her kicked out because they distrust her, being a classmate of the First Gentleman, and being very close to the First Couple. Gutierrez is hardly my cup of tea, but — and it’s a big but — their dislike of her is hardly a good reason to kick her out of her position through force, or impeachment, or a question of law and the Constitution.
