MANILA — Vice President Sara Duterte's financial declarations revealed a substantial accumulation of wealth spanning her 18-year tenure in government service, with her net worth multiplying more than 13 times between 2007 and 2025.
The dramatic increase in the vice president's assets was documented through statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs) that were entered into evidence during Senate impeachment proceedings on Tuesday. The records detail her financial position from when she first took office as Davao City vice mayor through her ascension to the country's second-highest elected position.
The presentation of these financial documents before the impeachment court marked a significant moment in ongoing legal proceedings affecting the vice president. The SALNs provide a detailed accounting of declared assets and liabilities across the period, offering a comprehensive view of her financial trajectory throughout her government career.
The figures have drawn attention to questions surrounding wealth accumulation during public service, a matter that remains central to current legal challenges facing Duterte. The documented increase in her net worth over nearly two decades represents one of the key pieces of evidence being examined in the proceedings.
