Palace exec: Lawmakers should make SALNs available

Senators and congressmen should make their State of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) available instead of hiding them, a Malacañang spokesperson said Friday.

“Depende po kung sino ‘yung hinihingan nung SALN because if Commissioner Kim [Henares] has the list, then these lawmakers should be aware that they can and should make their SALNs available,” deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said during a press conference.

Valte issued the statement after Bureau of Internal Revenue chief Kim Jacinto-Henares was quoted by Radyo Inquirer as saying that they have made several requests to lawmakers but that they have not yet released their SALNs to them.
