Manila: Senator Risa Hontiveros on Monday made public her 2024 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN), reaffirming her call for full transparency and accountability among government officials.

According to Philippines News Agency, based on her SALN as of Dec. 31, 2024, Hontiveros declared total assets of PHP19.88 million, liabilities of PHP897,840, and a net worth of PHP18.99 million. Her declared assets include residential properties and personal items such as cash deposits, vehicles, furniture, jewelry, and equity in installment purchases. She reported no relatives in government service and no new business interests aside from existing small shareholdings in a few enterprises.

Hontiveros stated that her decision to release her SALN aligns with her long-standing advocacy to restore public access to financial disclosures of public servants. She expressed strong support for the removal of restrictions on access to public officials’ SALNs, describing these as unjust, unconstitutional, and anti-people. She emphasized that the new rules should be applied equally to all public officials, from the highest to the lowest, past or present, while considering reasonable limitations related to personal or sensitive information and security.

Hontiveros highlighted that making SALNs accessible to the public strengthens trust in government and ensures officials remain accountable for their actions. She has consistently made her SALNs publicly available since she assumed office in 2016.
