Vice President Sara Duterte’s 2025 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) did not contain the P6 million property she acquired in July 2024, Senate impeachment court presiding officer Francis Escudero said.

Escudero made the statement in connection to the P6 million 379-square-meter property in Matina, Davao City that the Vice President acquired on July 2, 2024 as testified by Atty. Kathy Florence Baldonado Davao City Register of Deeds IV.

“The SALNs of the Vice President were proven to be authentic by the witness of the panel of prosecutors, the SALNs were marked by both parties [as evidence] and duly sworn to by the Vice President. Thus far, there is no evidence to show that the Vice President or the respondent has denied or is denying the SALN on record, not only before the Office of the Ombudsman but also before this Court,” Escudero said.

“The presiding officer has looked in the SALN of the Vice President and does not find this particular property as one of real properties declared because we checked it against all of the declarations of the Vice President,” Escudero added.

The prosecution is presenting evidence for Article 2 of the impeachment case against the Vice President alleging unexplained wealth due to alleged failure to truthfully disclose assets in her SALN and failure to divest in businesses as required for the President and Vice President under a Constitutional provision. —VAL, GMA News
