President Rodrigo Duterte’s wealth remains a secret as the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism’s (PCIJ) request for a copy of his 2020 Statement of Assets of Liabilities and Networth (SALN) again ran into a dead end. The central office of the Office of the Ombudsman is the custodian of the SALNs of presidents, vice presidents, and constitutional officials. However, Ombudsman Samuel Martires issued in 2020 a controversial memorandum restricting access to the documents.
