Pampanga 1st District Rep. Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. on Sept. 26, made full disclosure of his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) filed on July 16, 2025.
“I am publicly disclosing my SALN in response to the people’s clamor for transparency, and in solidarity with my colleagues in the House of Representatives who have also done the same,” Lazatin said.
Earlier, the congressman made a public declaration of his support to the call of House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III (Isabela 6th District) for government officials, particularly lawmakers, to reveal their SALN to the public, in the wake of issues of widespread corruption and collusion among legislators, contractors, and officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways.
“Public office is a public trust. With the recent issues on anomalous infrastructure projects, we have seen an erosion of the public’s confidence in our officials and institutions. The public disclosure of government officials’ SALN is one small step to slowly rebuild trust and confidence,” Lazatin said. Punto News Team
