Question VIII:

In a coastal municipality, the mayor, a well-respected public officer, allowed a private company to conduct mining operations within its jurisdiction. The mayor justified this decision by claiming that it would bring economic growth and employment opportunities to the community. However, concerned citizens argue that the mining operations have caused severe environmental damage and put the livelihood of local fisherfolk at risk.

What role can the Ombudsman play in holding the mayor accountable for any misconduct or wrongdoing?
Identify and explain any provisions or principles from the 1987 Constitution, R.A. No. 6770, and R.A. No. 6713 that serve as safeguards against corruption and abuse of power by public officers.
