MANILA, Philippines – Malacañang on Sunday said there are already a number of government programs that facilitate the “lifestyle check” of public officials.
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma, in a press briefing, said government officials are required to file a statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN), among other things.
Senator Grace Poe on Thursday said senators implicated in the pork barrel scam should be made to undergo lifestyle checks, along with provisional state witness Dennis Cunanan.
However, Coloma was not able to comment on the request.
