MANILA — Vice President Sara Duterte's Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs) spanning nearly two decades show a dramatic increase in her declared wealth, tribunal records revealed Tuesday.
A witness presenting detailed documentation of the financial statements indicated that Duterte's net worth rose from initial figures in 2007 to P91.4 million higher by 2025, marking a percentage increase exceeding 1,260 percent over the 18-year period.
The financial data was entered into the impeachment trial record as the proceedings continued to examine various aspects of Duterte's tenure as Vice President. The SALN documents, which all government officials are required to file annually, serve as public records of their declared assets and liabilities.
The presentation of these financial statements forms part of the broader impeachment case being heard, with various witnesses and documentary evidence being introduced to establish a comprehensive record for the tribunal's consideration.
Official statements of assets and liabilities provide a window into the financial circumstances of public officials and are considered essential transparency documents in the Philippine government system.
