What happened
During an impeachment inquiry, the Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed that Sara Duterte remained a director and shareholder of Metro City Chow Foods Corp. after she became Vice President in 2022. Records showed Duterte held a 20 percent stake and served on the company's board from 2022 to 2025. A director from the Securities and Exchange Commission testified that the agency lacks a directive requiring it to report officials who may be prohibited from participating in private businesses.
