Ahead of Ombudsman requests, several lawmakers voluntarily release SALNs
MANILA, Philippines — Several lawmakers have taken the initiative to release their Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) statements amid the largest corruption scandal haunting the Marcos administration.

While forms to request for copies for officials' wealth statements are yet to be made available, a few lawmakers went ahead and made their disclosures.
