A forensic financial analyst testifies that Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, may have unexplained or undeclared wealth that could reach as much as ₱1.5 billion, depending on how records are analyzed. Multiple outlets report that the analyst, Alexander Cabrera, also cites a lower estimate of about ₱817.87 million based on his review of available documents.
In court testimony, Cabrera is asked about whether his method is “conservative,” and he says the maximum estimate differs because not all items are included in the lower figure. Reports say the analysis covers the period from 2022 to 2025 and examines both financial indicators and related corporate holdings. One outlet specifies the corporate scope as three companies linked to Duterte and Carpio—Metro City Chow Foods Corp., GenCorp Industries Inc., and Cale88 Foods Corp.—and notes defense counsel questions about the report’s coverage and supporting records.
Across the accounts, the differences focus mainly on the range of the alleged unexplained wealth and what is included or excluded in the figures, rather than a dispute over the fact that the testimony relies on a forensic review of assets, income, and related firms.
