Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles announced Tuesday the deadline filing of SALN (Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net worth) had been extended until June 30, 2020.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) released a memorandum giving state workers additional 60 days to submit their SALN, said Nograles, spokesman of the Inter-agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
“Para naman po sa government workers, isa pong paalala: nag-issue na po ang Civil Service Commission ng Memorandum Circular na binibigyan ang opisyal at empleyado ng additional 60 days o hanggang June 30 para i-file ang kanilang Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net worth o SALN,” Nograles said in a virtual press briefing.

“Those filing their SALN Forms between the period after April 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 will not be subjected to any administrative case relating to the non-filing of the SALN Form. However, those not filing their SALN Forms will still be liable if they fail to file the same by June 30, 2020,” the memo reads.
Likewise, the same memo allows departments, agencies, and offices until August 21 to submit the filled out SALN forms to the appropriate repository agencies.
“The foregoing parameters shall be subject to changes in case of any further issuances by the appropriate authorities, department and/or task force pertaining to the national emergency brought by COVID-19,” the memo states.
SALN is required by law under Article XI Section 17 of the 1987 Constitution and Section 8 of Republic Act No. 6713, the “Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.”
It is “to accomplish and submit declarations under oath of, and the public has the right to know, their assets, liabilities, net worth and financial and business interests including those of their spouses and of unmarried children under 18 years of age living in their households.”
