Updated March 12, 2021 3:18pm Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Estela Perlas Bernabe said Friday she agrees with the position of Ombudsman Samuel Martires that asset statements could be weaponized against government officials. Bernabe, who aspires to become the next chief justice, told the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) that releasing a summary of the justice’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) would be enough to promote transparency. “I have really nothing to hide. It’s just that sometimes people tend to criticize or to find ways and means to really destroy the reputation of a justice,” she said when asked by JBC member and retired SC justice Noel Tijam whether she was in favor of publishing the SALNs of the justices provided it conforms to the requirements of the data privacy law.
