Malacañang said the failure of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism to obtain a copy of President Duterte’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth was not contrary to the Chief Executive’s campaign for transparency in government.
In his statement, Panelo reiterated that it was not the responsibility of the President to release a copy of his SALN because the Office of the President was not the repository of Duterte’s SALN. Panelo renewed his call to the PCIJ to direct its request to the Ombudsman as the OP cannot tell an independent body what to do.
“The President has complied with what the Constitution or law requires – the timely submission of a declaration under oath of his assets, liabilities, and net worth. Neither instrument requires the President to personally and directly furnish a copy thereof to the media or to whomever wants it. There is a mandated procedure under the law to access the same,” Panelo said.
Early this year, Duterte slammed the PCIJ for releasing a three-part series looking into his family’s wealth. He claimed that a “friendly” country which is tapping and listening to phone calls of Filipinos gave him the information that the PCIJ was paid to do the series.
