Sasailalim si Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla sa sampung araw na wellness leave simula ngayong Lunes, Hunyo 26, ayon sa Department of Justice (DOJ).
Sa isang pahayag nitong Lunes, sinabi DOJ na personal ang dahilan kung bakit nag-file ng sampung araw na leave ni Remulla.
“We want to assure the public that the DOJ remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served. Our officials and employees will continue to work diligently and fulfill their respective responsibilities to ensure that the operations of our department run smoothly during the Secretary’s absence,” anang DOJ.
“Rest assured that the DOJ will continue to carry out its vital functions and responsibilities, including the protection of the rights of every Filipino citizen, without any interruption,” dagdag nito.

Sinabi naman ni Remulla na itinalaga niya si Justice Undersecretary Raul T. Vasquez bilang DOJ officer-in-charge sa loob ng 10 araw habang naka-leave siya.
“We kindly ask for your understanding and respect for the Secretary’s privacy during this time. We look forward to the Secretary’s return and his continued service to the DOJ and the Filipino people,” saad pa ng DOJ.
Matatandaang naluklok si Remulla bilang kalihim ng DOJ noong Hunyo 30, 2022. Pinalitan niya ang noo'y kalihim na si Menardo Guevarra na ngayon ay solicitor general ng pamahalaan.
