Session record
Claims introduced or updated
- Pre-2022 SALNs admitted as baseline only: after the defense objected, the presiding officer allowed 2007-2025 records only as a baseline for evaluating the vice-presidential term, not to add charges for earlier conduct, and the continuing objection was recorded.
- Declared net-worth figures read into the record: an Ombudsman records custodian read SALNs declaring net worth of 7,250,497 pesos in 2007, 65,308,841 pesos in 2021, and 98,656,131.20 pesos in 2025; the office stores but does not verify filings, and the figures are declared amounts, not findings of unexplained or unlawful wealth.
