THE HOUSE of Representatives Justice Committee has summoned the Ombudsman to testify and turn over Vice-President (VP) Sara Duterte‑Carpio’s wealth declarations, a move that deepens scrutiny of her finances as an impeachment inquiry advances.
In a March 31 subpoena, the body ordered Ombudsman Jesus Crispin C. Remulla to appear at an April 14 hearing and submit certified copies of Ms. Duterte’s statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs) covering 2022 to 2025, as well as earlier periods from 2007 to 2013 and 2016 to 2022.
The records are needed “for the committee to be apprised of the assets, liabilities and net worth” declared by the Vice-President from the time she started public service until the present, according to the subpoena.
