VP SARA DUTERTE DENIES OWNING PROPERTY LINKED BY NBI TO HER SALN

THE LOT SHOWN IN THE PHOTO DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!” — VP SARA DUTERTE

Vice President Sara Duterte has firmly denied owning the parcel of land shown in a photograph that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) allegedly linked to her Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

According to the Vice President, the property in question does not belong to her, contradicting the information allegedly presented by the agency.

The controversy stems from statements made by NBI Director Melvin Matibag regarding alleged significant discrepancies between the declared values of certain properties and the preliminary assessments conducted by investigators.

Among the properties mentioned was one reportedly declared at ₱890,000 but estimated to have a possible actual value of ₱61 million. Another property was described as agricultural land allegedly containing a mansion, swimming pools, and a helipad.

However, VP Sara questioned these claims and maintained that the lot shown in the photograph was not hers.

VP SARA ALSO QUESTIONS NBI OPERATIONS

Duterte also expressed concern over the use of taxpayers’ money for investigations that, according to her, should have clear legal and factual foundations.

She further linked the controversy to the alleged removal of the NBI from the prosecution’s list of witnesses in her impeachment proceedings.

The Vice President also referred to the affidavit of former police officer Rodulfo Gracioso Jr., which contained allegations involving the supposed delivery of money to the Duterte family.

She questioned the credibility of the evidence presented and raised concerns about the reliability of such allegations.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRUTH AT THE CENTER OF THE CONTROVERSY

VP Sara emphasized that every action taken by a government agency funded by taxpayers must be guided by the law, supported by facts, and carried out in the public interest.

She stressed that public funds should be used responsibly and that government investigations must uphold transparency, fairness, and accountability.

Meanwhile, determining the actual ownership of the properties in question remains essential. Official ownership documents, proper property valuations, and a thorough investigation are necessary to establish whether the allegations have a factual basis.

Statements from either side, on their own, do not establish whether any false declaration or violation of the law has occurred.

THE BIG QUESTION:

What do the official property ownership records and SALN documents actually reveal?

Ultimately, the controversy highlights the importance of verified evidence, due process, and accountability in government investigations.

Public trust must be built on facts, transparency, and the rule of law.

ANG LOTE SA LARAWAN AY HINDI SA AKIN!” — VP SARA DUTERTE

VP SARA DUTERTE, ITINANGGING SA KANIYA ANG LOTENG INIUUGNAY NG NBI SA KANIYANG SALN

Mariing itinanggi ni Vice President Sara Duterte na pag-aari niya ang lupang ipinakita sa larawang iniuugnay ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) sa kaniyang Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

Ayon sa Bise Presidente, hindi sa kaniya ang naturang ari-arian, taliwas sa impormasyong inilalahad umano ng ahensiya.

Ugat ng kontrobersiya ang mga pahayag ni NBI Director Melvin Matibag tungkol sa umano’y malaking pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng idineklarang halaga ng ilang ari-arian at ng paunang pagtataya ng mga imbestigador.

Kabilang sa mga binanggit ang isang property na nakasaad na nagkakahalaga ng ₱890,000 sa deklarasyon ngunit tinatayang maaaring umabot sa ₱61 milyon ang aktuwal na halaga. May binanggit din na lupang agricultural umano na may mansiyon, swimming pools, at helipad.

Gayunman, kinuwestiyon ni VP Sara ang impormasyong ito at iginiit na hindi niya pag-aari ang loteng ipinakita sa larawan.

NBI, KINUWESTIYON DIN NG BISE PRESIDENTE

Nagpahayag din ng pagkabahala si Duterte sa paggamit ng pondo ng bayan para sa mga imbestigasyong, ayon sa kaniya, dapat may malinaw na legal at makatotohanang batayan.

Iniugnay rin niya ang isyu sa umano’y pagtanggal sa NBI mula sa listahan ng mga testigong ihaharap ng prosekusyon sa kaniyang impeachment proceedings.

Binanggit din ng Bise Presidente ang affidavit ni dating pulis Rodulfo Gracioso Jr., na naglalaman ng mga alegasyon tungkol sa umano’y paghahatid ng pera sa pamilya Duterte. Kinuwestiyon niya ang kredibilidad ng naturang ebidensiya.

PANANAGUTAN AT KATOTOHANAN ANG SENTRO NG USAPIN

Binigyang-diin ni VP Sara na ang bawat hakbang ng isang ahensiyang pinopondohan ng taumbayan ay dapat nakabatay sa batas, katotohanan, at kapakanan ng publiko.

Samantala, nananatiling mahalagang matukoy sa pamamagitan ng mga opisyal na dokumento, wastong valuation, at imbestigasyon kung sino ang tunay na may-ari ng mga ari-ariang pinag-uusapan at kung may batayan ang mga alegasyon.

Ang mga pahayag ng magkabilang panig ay hindi pa, sa kanilang sarili, nagpapatunay kung may maling deklarasyon o paglabag sa batas.

Ang pangunahing tanong: Ano ang ipinapakita ng mga opisyal na rekord ng pagmamay-ari at ng SALN?
