Marcos to confer with Cabinet on public release of SALNs, says Palace
The Marcos Cabinet will convene on Saturday to discuss the potential public release of their Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs).
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro confirmed the upcoming meeting and stated that the President's decision on releasing his SALN will depend on what is deemed appropriate.
President Marcos previously indicated his SALN would be accessible to requesting bodies like the Independent Commission for Infrastructure and mentioned following 'old rules' for SALN accessibility.
This discussion comes after Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla lifted restrictions on public access to SALNs, removing the need for the SALN owner's consent for public disclosure.
Several lawmakers, including Senators Risa Hontiveros, Robin Padilla, and Tito Sotto, and Representative Kiko Barzaga, have already voluntarily disclosed their SALNs.
