Salgado criticized the Ombudsman, saying, "The Ombudsman's fealty to the Constitution and to the public interest has long been compromised by her willingness to be a tool for political ends. It has been established that the Ombudsman violated due process, Constitutional rights and even its own rules to railroad the filing of the complaint. Her undying loyalty to her LP patrons comes at the expense of accountability and respect for the rule of law."
