What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The House of Representatives is investigating Vice President Sara Duterte regarding allegations of unexplained wealth, utilizing tax records from the Bureau of Internal Revenue. During a hearing, a forensic financial analyst questioned whether corporate funds from companies such as Cale88 Foods Corp. and Gencorp Metro City had been transferred to the couple’s personal bank accounts. The Bureau of Internal Revenue submitted summaries and tables of tax records to the impeachment court, despite objections regarding privacy. The analyst noted that the records did not identify the sources or purposes of some incoming and outgoing transactions.
