If President Rodrigo Duterte insists that his family’s wealth came from the sale of real estate, then why did he not include this in his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN)?
Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV on Sunday asked this question as he scoffed at the President’s “new narrative” that, he said, belied his campaign story that he was born into a poor family.
The senator was reacting to the President’s latest disclosure about the source of his and his family’s wealth to counter accusations that he hid ill-gotten wealth as Trillanes had been alleging.
Mr. Duterte said on Friday in Davao City that he and his four siblings had made “millions” from selling inherited land and from logging. He claimed that he already had P3 million when he was a fourth year student.
The senator said the President was now on the defensive and was explaining his family’s wealth because people were about to know about his alleged illegal activities.
