Loui Garcia interviews newly appointed Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales.

MANILA, Philippines—Newly-appointed Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales said she would immediately look into all pending cases before the Office of the Ombudsman.

“I will order an inventory of cases,” said Morales, whose appointment was announced by President Benigno Aquino during his second State of the Nation Address Monday.

But this early, Morales in an interview over 990AM cautioned her staff to “do the right” thing.
