Lawyer Manases “Mans” Carpio says the release of his and Vice President Sara Duterte’s income tax records should undergo judicial review to address legal issues on the authorization for the disclosure. Carpio made the statement on Friday, arguing that any disputes over whether the tax records can be released should be resolved through the proper court process.
He also said they continue to comply with the orders of the Senate impeachment court. According to the reports, Carpio is seeking a legal resolution while maintaining adherence to the impeachment proceedings’ directives. Other coverage characterizes his position as a request to have the tax-record release subject to judicial review, rather than being handled solely through existing administrative or legislative steps.
The sources agree that Carpio’s request focuses on the process and legal basis for releasing the tax records, and that it is made alongside continued compliance with the Senate impeachment court’s instructions.
