Why is it being kept from the people? 🤔

For the first time in 30 years, the Office of the Ombudsman has not released the President's SALN for three consecutive years.

Here's a look at the wealth of Philippine presidents from Corazon Aquino to Rodrigo Duterte.

📷 @PCIJdotOrg
CONTEXT: In 2007, Malacañang suspended for six months a regional director of the Department of Education for her failure to submit a true and complete SALN.

Failure to file a SALN is punishable by either suspension or dismissal.

CONTEXT: While Duterte has not made public his SALN for three years now, former Chief Justice Renato Corona was impeached in 2011 for violation of the Constitution when he failed to disclose his SALN to the public.

CONTEXT: In 2018, Solicitor General Jose Calida, an ally of Duterte, filed a quo warranto against former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, the same move he used with ABS-CBN, claiming that Sereno repeatedly failed to file her SALNs.

CONTEXT: In 2019, former Lagayan, Abra mayor Cecilia Seares-Luna was found guilty of the graft charges she was facing for misdeclaring her SALN and net worth from 1998 to 2005.

President Rodrigo Duterte, who promised to end corruption in the country as early as 2016, said he will dedicate his last years in office to fighting corruption because it keeps getting stronger.

In February this year, Duterte admitted that he cannot stop corruption.
CONTEXT: In his campaign period and during his first year in office, Duterte claimed he will get rid of “corruption, criminality, and drugs” in three to six months, and told Filipinos to kill him if he doesn’t.

CONTEXT: But in 2018, Duterte, expressing frustration over his failure to curb corruption in the country, said he is ready to step down before 2022.

"I do not think that I can fulfill my promise to the people," he said.

"He better file a case in court or shut up if he has no evidence to show," House Minority Leader Joseph Paduano (Abang Lingkod party-list) says of Lt. Gen. Parlade's repeated accusations against members of the Makabayan bloc. | via @XaveGregorio
"We all know that intelligence information gathering is part of military duty, but we cannot allow Parlade to sow fear or even threaten people he merely suspects to have communist links," Paduano also says in a statement.
Paduano says "he expects the entire House to take action on the issue."
