Following a VERA Files report on Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo’s failure to declare in his latest asset declarations a multi-million-peso property in California, three party-list representatives filed Tuesday a resolution that seeks “to investigate the loopholes in the SALN (Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth) disclosure system using the Arroyos as a case in point.”
“It is high time for Congress to scrutinize the system of reporting of the SALN and to determine whether or not drafting a new law is necessary to ensure that all civil servants stick to the basic rule of utmost transparency when submitting their SALNs,” said Bayan Muna’s Teodoro Casino and. Satur Ocampo and Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Liza Maza in House Resolution No. 1358.
“Should hearings push through, we will invite PGMA (President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) and/or her lawyer/accountant and Reps. Mikey and Dato Arroyo as resource persons,” Casino said in a text message.
