VALENCIA CITY, Bukidnon — Saying she is “not conversant” on the case, vice presidential candidate Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio refused to comment Thursday on the billions-worth of unsettled estate tax of the Marcos family.

In an ambush interview in Antipolo, Duterte-Carpio, who is a lawyer by profession, was asked about her stand on the pending estate tax of the Marcoses which has ballooned to P203 billion, as per former Supreme Court associate justice Antonio Carpio.

“I cannot comment on that because I am not conversant with the facts of the case,” Duterte-Carpio told reporters.

In early March, the Marcos camp said that the estimated P203 billion estate tax of the Marcos family remains unsettled since the properties linked to the case are still under litigation.

The PCGG, however, said that the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) “already executed its final assessment” on the involved properties as early as 1993 and that “as early as 1997, the judgment on the tax case had become final and executory.”

BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay confirmed that they have sent a written demand to the Marcos heirs last December 2021 with regards to their unpaid tax liability.
