The value of her real
properties remained unchanged since 2013 at P1.74 million. Her declared
liabilities of P11.9 million meanwhile, remained unchanged since 2017.
The growing average of
Robredo’s net worth is six percent annually over the last six years since 2013,
when she was the Representative of the 2nd District of Camarines Sur.
Her net worth had a
sharp decline in 2017, when it decreased to P1.11 million from the P8.88
million she declared in 2016 due to the “partial counter-protest fee deposited
with PET” [Presidential Electoral Tribunal], according to a note in her 2017
SALN. This was in relation to the electoral protest case lodged against her by
former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. on the 2016 vice presidential
race.
The case is still
pending before the Supreme Court (SC), sitting as PET.
Her “cash” decreased by
P2.76 million while her liabilities increased by P5 million that year compared
to 2016.
Robredo’s SALN came
from the Office of the Vice President after the Office of the Ombudsman—the
official repository of the SALN of the President, Vice President, and
Chairperson and Commissioners of Constitutional Commissions—held SALN requests
“in abeyance” pending a “review and revision” of its policies on the release of
SALNs.
