VP Sara: Expand lifestyle checks to appointees, ‘dummies’

VICE President Sara Duterte has voiced her support for President Bongbong Marcos’ directive to conduct lifestyle checks on government officials.

However, she emphasized that these checks should be comprehensive and extend beyond elected officials to include appointed executives and their alleged “dummies.” Duterte believes a thorough investigation is necessary to ensure accountability and transparency within the government.

Duterte’s statement underscores the importance of scrutinizing not only those directly elected by the people but also individuals appointed to key positions, as well as those who may be acting as fronts for illicit activities.

By advocating for a more inclusive approach to lifestyle checks, the Vice President aims to strengthen the government’s efforts to combat corruption and promote ethical governance.
