House SALN review panel formed
House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" Dy III has reconstituted the Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) Review and Compliance Committee to strengthen transparency.
Deputy Speaker Ferdinand Hernandez will chair the eight-member committee, which is tasked to review and push for the submission of updated SALNs from the 317 members of the House of Representatives.
The committee will operate under existing House Memorandum Order 17-42 and Resolution No. 176, continuing its mandate regarding the filing, review, and disclosure of SALNs.
Speaker Dy believes that making SALNs available for public inspection is a tradition that Congress should reinstate, noting that lawmakers' SALNs used to be open to public inspection.
Currently, only nine congressmen have released copies of their 2025 SALN to the public.
