Philippines’ Marcos Approves Release of VP Duterte’s Tax Records to Impeachment Trial
The court will use the records to assess unexplained wealth allegations against Duterte, including 2007 to 2021 financial documents, officials said.
- On Thursday, July 30, 2026, the Bureau of Internal Revenue turned over Vice President Sara Duterte's tax records to the Senate impeachment court following authorization from Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
- Presidential authorization is legally required to release confidential tax documents; the Senate impeachment court subpoenaed these records to investigate allegations of unexplained wealth, corruption, and misuse of public funds against the Vice President.
- The submitted documents include tax records of Duterte, her husband, lawyer Manases Carpio, and associated companies; banks including PSBank and Metrobank provided financial records revealing P6.77 billion in suspicious transactions.
- Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro stated the President approved the release to ensure the public knows the truth; the court emphasized that admissibility as evidence remains subject to its rules.
- The Senate impeachment court will resume the trial on August 3. A conviction requires the votes of at least 16 of the Senate's 24 members and could derail Duterte's planned 2028 presidential bid.
