BAGUIO CITY – The filing of statement of assets, liabilities and
net worth (SALN) for public officials and government employees has been
reiterated through a letter from Department of Interior and Local Government
city director Evelyn Trinidad to Mayor Mauricio Domogan.
The letter included DILG Memorandum Circular 2012-116 for the
information of all concerned.
The DILG circular contains the provision that local chief
executives of provinces, cities and municipalities and barangays, concerned LGU
officials, regional directors, employees and other concerned are enjoined to
cause the filing of their SALN.
Said concerned officials shall “cause the filing of their SALN
religiously within the time and under the conditions set by law for the purpose
of honest and accurate disclosure of their assets and liabilities.”
Same should “recognize and observe the public’s right of access to
the SALN,” by “making these documents available, upon proper request subject to
reasonable rules and regulations on the time, purpose, manner and frequency of
the endeavor.”
Faithful compliance with the requirements should be adhered to,
the DILG MC stated.
The reiteration was an offshoot of the recently observed
impeachment process, and premised on promoting transparency for those in the
government service as stated in the constitution.
