Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla said he is ready to release his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN), expressing support for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s call for transparency among executive officials.

In an exclusive interview on DZRH’s Damdaming Bayan, Remulla said he has no issue making his wealth declaration public, stressing that he is not the one being questioned.

“Oo, ibibigay ko ‘yong SALN ko. Paglabas ng lahat, lalabas din ‘yong akin, hindi problema ‘yon. Ako ba ang on trial dito? Hindi ako ang on trial pero sige. Kung ‘yan ang gusto nyo, gagawin ko,” he told host Deo Macalma.

Remulla explained that members of the media and other interested parties may formally request copies of SALNs through the Department of Justice’s Public Assistance Office, subject to a reproduction fee. The fee, he said, is used only to replenish office resources and not as a barrier to access.

He also echoed President Marcos’ earlier commitment to make his own SALN public, saying that the same principle of transparency should apply to all members of the executive branch.

“Dapat lahat talaga willing. Accountability document ‘yan eh, kaya inimbento ‘yang SALN at lifestyle check document para pwede natin tignan ‘yong tao kung totoo ‘yong sinasabi,” Remulla said.

Calling the SALN an “accountability document,” the Justice Secretary emphasized that the purpose of disclosure is to maintain public trust and ensure honesty in government service.

Remulla further disclosed that warrants of arrest related to pending corruption cases may be issued by late November or early December, though he declined to give details on which cases were involved.

The Ombudsman's remarks come amid renewed public attention on officials’ wealth declarations, following the President’s call for openness and the recent controversy surrounding varying interpretations of SALN disclosure rules.
