Ma. Merceditas Navarro Gutierrez is a Filipino government official and Ombudswoman of the Republic of the Philippines. She heads the powerful Ombudsman Office which investigates government officials accused of crimes. She was a two-time Justice Secretary of the Philippine Justice Department in 2002 and 2004. She assumed the Office of the Ombudsman on December 1, 2005 as the first female to head the post. On March 22, 2011, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Gutierrez. She announce her resignation from office on April 29, 2011, and her term is until on May 6, 2011.

Well, you did a good job of posting a profile of the said lady. To answer your question, I will leave it to the courts and the history books whether she is a good or bad public service. Many years after now, people will still debate her 'service' and political science major will revel in the her connections and her work.
You covered partially the documented record of her life but even if we have every details of her life, we can never know if she is a good or bad public servant.
That 'judgement' is wholly judgmental. Some people will call her and others will call her bad. There is no authority to declare her as such or not as such unless there is an action or a case against her is made or permitted to progress.
Taking the long view, I personally don't care whether she is good or not. I Think she knows the consequences when she entered public officer. Let the record and all the testimonies speak for itself.
Give it to the government, the courts, the men of law and other people involved to make it their problem, duty and responsibility in proving a case. In the end, history and the people will take the judgement.

Wikipedia is a good website for finding out credentials on government officials, but I tend not to find out about the government. I do not really follow who is in power or not. I hope that one day we will live in a world that is peaceful, but politics can cause war.

hello my friend,
I stopped following political/politicians life.
As if everyone showing only the good sides once they're appointed and then opponents will try to pull them using ..personality assassination.
Now the public will be torn into half in where to believed in,the good or the bad side of that politician.
No matter how good the politician is...still this corrupt government gives them the impression that they're all of same feathers and we cannot blame the public right?
I don't know much about this person...and i never had a chance of hearing all the accusations and allegations.
I am fed up of our system and sickening same old story that cases always ends up with a question mark..never an period dah!
I just wish they do all the best and good things that these people in our government must do,in order to make our country a better place to lived in.
good evening my friend
