NOT ANY POORER OR RICHER since 1993?
Which senator of the 15th Congress has not reported any increase or decrease in wealth from 20 years ago?
a. Miriam Defensor-Santiago
b. Manuel M. Lapid
c. Joker P. Arroyo
d. Panfilo M. Lacson
Unlike many of his colleagues, Senator Joker P. Arroyo’s net worth has remained unchanged in all the Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) that he has filed in the last two decades.
For some inexplicable reasons, Arroyo said his wealth did not rise or fall, despite his long years in politics and the growth in the national economy.
His SALN for 1993, the earliest copy that the PCIJ has on file, listed his net worth at P11.05 million.
Since then, Arroyo has been declaring the same amount until 2011, according to his latest SALN that PCIJ has on file.
