MANILA, Philippines — A property declared in Vice President Sara Duterte’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) carries an address in a barangay that does not exist in the city where it is supposedly located, the Samal city assessor told the Senate Impeachment Court on Tuesday.
John Kenneth Enumerables, city assessor of the Island Garden City of Samal, testified that the property's assessed and market values in local tax records matched those reflected in Duterte’s SALN.
However, he said local records placed the property in Barangay San Isidro, Kaputian District, while the SALN identified its location as Barangay Matanos.
Enumerables confirmed that there was no Barangay Matanos in the Island Garden City of Samal.
During direct examination, defense lawyer Lindon Bacquel asked Enumerables to identify the registered owner of the property.
“The registered owner is Manases Reyes Carpio,” Enumerables replied, referring to Duterte’s husband.
Asked about the property's location, the assessor identified it as Barangay San Isidro, Kaputian District, Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte.
