We have learned through media reports of the complaints reportedly filed before the Office of the Ombudsman. As of this time, we have yet to receive copies of the complaints and therefore cannot meaningfully comment on their specific allegations.
We respect the legal process and will respond to the complaints at the appropriate time and in the proper forum. We are confident that, once given the opportunity to examine the allegations and the evidence supporting them, we will be able to fully and properly defend our rights and address the matters raised against us.
In the meantime, we ask that the legal process be allowed to take its course and that conclusions not be drawn before the parties have been afforded the opportunity to be heard.
