Government officials and employees may opt to submit their Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth electronically

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) on Saturday, May 1, extended the deadline for government officials and employees to file their 2020 Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

They have until May 30, 2021 to submit their SALNs. The CSC cited guidelines on SALN filing, where public officials and employees in “affected areas” of a state of calamity or emergency are given an extra month to file the document.

The Philippines is under a state of calamity due to the coronavirus pandemic until September 12, 2021.

In April 2020, the CSC also extended the deadline for another 60 days because of the pandemic.

The CSC allowed for an online submission and oath-taking.

Those submitting can opt to sign their SALNs with an electronic signature, or physically sign the document and scan it. Then they need to send it to the human resource office of the concerned department, which would be considered as a “duly executed SALN.”

The agencies can also opt for a physical or electronic submission, subject to the CSC’s guidelines.

“The proper repository agencies may establish their own rules in allowing the receipt of electronic copies of the SALNs provided they comply with the uniformity rule,” the CSC said in a press release.

SALNs contain information on business interests, financial connections, and relatives in government. Investigations into unexplained wealth involve looking at these documents. – Rappler.com
