MANILA, Philippines — Presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said Monday that, if elected, he will not make his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth public, despite saying earlier that releasing wealth declaration documents is good for transparency and accountability.

 

"Pag gagamitin lang sa pulitika, wag na lang. (If they will use it for politics, never mind) ‘Ganun na lang, let’s keep it simple," he told a panel of journalists moderated by lawyer Trixie Cruz- Angeles, a social media personality supportive of him and President Rodrigo Duterte,

 

The former senator, who topped the latest pre-election surveys, said when a SALN is made public, a political rival could use it to make issues up. He cited the impeachment case of the late Chief Justice Renato Corona, who was impeached and then removed as head of the judiciary in 2012 for betrayal of public trust for failure to disclose his assets in his wealth declaration document.
