Palace: Marcos Jr. ready to release SALN
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and members of his Cabinet will release their Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs) to the "proper authorities" in compliance with guidelines set by the Office of the Ombudsman.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro clarified that the President is ready to release his SALN and adhere to established guidelines.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin stated that requests for SALN copies should have a "good reason" as they contain information that might compromise public officials' safety and should not be used "indiscriminately" for political attacks.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla had previously lifted restrictions on public access to SALNs, removing the need for the owner's consent for disclosure.
Cabinet members held an informal discussion on Saturday and agreed to comply with the Ombudsman's memorandum regarding public access to SALNs.
