Vice President Sara Duterte denies that she owns properties being investigated by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that were allegedly linked to her and her family. The NBI is examining potential discrepancies involving property declarations in the Duterte family’s Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs), according to multiple reports.
Inquirer.net and other outlets report that the NBI’s initial estimates involve large differences between declared values and potential market or assessed values. One NBI presentation reportedly cites a property declared at about P890,000 in Davao City that could be worth as much as P60 million. Other coverage says the probe extends to a broader set of assets connected not only to Sara Duterte but also to her brother, Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte.
Different outlets also highlight Sara Duterte’s response. Inquirer.net says she claims the NBI investigation is meant to undermine a potential 2028 presidential bid. The NBI’s findings, as described by outlets, serve as the basis for the ongoing property probe, including references to the number of properties under scrutiny.
