Ombudsman inks MOA with SM for clearance application services

In its bid to provide accessible and quality frontline services, the Office of the Ombudsman entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with SM Mart, Inc., making its Ombudsman clearance application services available in SM business service centers nationwide. 

 

Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales and SM President Consuelo Monasterio signed the MOA last 25 July 2014 at the SM North EDSA Activity Center.    

 

SM currently operates a chain of nationwide business service centers and bills payment collection counters which can serve as alternate receiving and payment counters to augment OMB’s regional and central offices. 

 

An Ombudsman Clearance is an official document certifying that a person has no criminal, administrative or forfeiture case pending with the Office of the Ombudsman.  If there appears to be such pending case against the applicant, the Office shall instead issue a Certification of pending case/s.

 

Paper applications in the Ombudsman offices in Quezon City, Cebu, Iloilo, Tacloban, Cagayan de Oro and Davao City may still be availed of, in addition to online applications that may be lodged at www.ombudsman.gov.ph.
