Here’s another pretty interesting article. The headline says it all…
No amount of “auditing trickery or legal acrobatics” can sweep under the rug the P55,863,374 discrepancy in real property, cash and investments that Chief Justice Renato Corona did not declare in his 2010 statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN), Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello said Thursday.
“There are now at least 55 million reasons for the Senate impeachment court to convict Corona on charges of doctoring his SALN and even without the court opening his dollar accounts,” he told the Inquirer.
Bello said the P55.8 million represented the discrepancy between the P22,936,980 in net worth declared by Corona in his 2010 SALN as filed on April 29, 2011, and Corona’s “true but hidden net worth” of at least P78,800,354.91. (See tables; footnotes of tables )
He said Corona’s “true but hidden net worth” could be culled “even by a fourth-grader doing basic arithmetic” based on the figures and testimony made before the Senate impeachment court by various registers of deeds, bank officials and condominium developers.
