SALN TRACKER: Senate of the Philippines

Government officials and employees are required to submit their Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs).

Journalists have always engaged in a back and forth with public officials to obtain copies of their SALNs. This is because “the public has the right to know, their assets, liabilities, net worth and financial and business interests,” according to Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

The Rappler research team has sent official letters requesting copies of these SALNs, and we want to take readers every step of the way.

On this page is a tracker on the status of each SALN request that the Rappler research team submitted to the offices of Philippine senators.

As of July 25, no senator has released their SALNs to Rappler.

Each status refers to the following:

• Submitted
  • Rappler research team has sent a letter requesting a copy of the government official’s SALN.
• Acknowledged
  • The staff or office of the government official has acknowledged receipt of Rappler’s request.
• Rejected
  • The staff or office of the government official has officially rejected Rappler’s SALN request.
• Released
  • The staff or office of the government official has approved Rappler’s request and has released the SALN.

This story page will be updated each time Rappler receives a response to each of its request, or if a SALN is released.

Track Rappler’s request for the SALN of other officials:

• President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Vice President Sara Duterte, and the Marcos Cabinet

In the coming days, Rappler will be publishing more trackers of SALN requests submitted to members of the House of Representatives and Metro Manila mayors. Bookmark this page to check the links once published.
