Prosecutors gather evidence on Vice President Duterte's alleged undisclosed assets
Prosecutors are still compiling proof of properties, firearms and financial dealings that appear missing from Vice President Sara Z. Duterte's declared net worth.
House prosecutor Terry L. Ridon said investigators have already presented evidence of assets worth millions of pesos, including land parcels and weapons, that are not reflected in Duterte's Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth. He declined to disclose a total figure, citing the sub judice rule of the Senate impeachment court. The inquiry continues as authorities attempt to reconcile the alleged discrepancies.
Why it matters
The probe could reveal potential misuse of public office and affect public trust in the Philippines' leadership.
