MANILA–Despite President Rodrigo Duterte’s vow of transparency, Malacañang on Monday, October 19, left to the Office of Ombudsman the decision on whether or not to release to the public the Chief Executive’s Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs).
“We leave that to the Office of the Ombudsman which is a constitutional body tasked with implementation of our laws relating to public officers,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque told reporters during a virtual press briefing.
Roque had been asked to state categorically whether or not Malacañang would share Duterte’s SALNs, which have remained a secret since 2018.
