MANILA, Philippines — Davao City Assessor Jaime Adalin on Monday confirmed that properties declared by Vice President Sara Duterte in her Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs) match tax declarations maintained by his office, including a residential lot and commercial building in Barangay 74-A, Davao City.
Adalin made the confirmation during the 40th day of the impeachment trial. Defense counsel Lindon Bacquel presented Duterte’s SALN and asked the witness to verify the declared properties against the city assessor’s records.
Looking at Duterte’s SALN as of Dec. 31, 2025, Adalin confirmed that the residential lot in Barangay 74-A, with an assessed value of P82,046, and the commercial building in the same barangay corresponded to the tax declarations on file with his office.
Presiding Officer Francis Escudero asked Adalin whether the residential property listed in Duterte’s SALN, with an assessed value of P82,046 and a market value of P2,051,150, was the same property Bacquel was referring to.
“Yes, it is the same property, Your Honor,” Adalin said.
