'Rest house,' poultry linked to PNP chief found
MANILA -- A consumer rights groups has urged Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Alan Purisima to make his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) public.
The Coalition of Filipino Consumers revealed that Purisima have several properties, including a rest house in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija.
The staff of "Failon Ngayon" went to the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to get a copy of Purisima's SALN, but were told that they should go to the Office of the President (OP) to get a copy. However, the OP also did not have a copy of the Purisima's SALN.
Upon visiting Nueva Ecija, the group were told by residents of San Leonardo of a rest house in the area that is allegedly owned by Purisima.
But when the group went to the Office of the Municipal Assessor of San Leonardo to ask about the controversial property, they were given a certificate showing that Purisima does not own any real property in town.
Aside from the house in San Leonardo, Purisima also allegedly owns a poultry farm in Barangay Macatbong in Cabanatuan City.
According to the Office of the City Assessor of Cabanatuan City, the property is "owned" by Rainier Van Albert Purisima, one of the four sons of the PNP chief.
Rainier is a registered nurse and is also the owner of a general merchandise store in Cavite.
After a few weeks, "Failon Ngayon" received a message from CSC chairman Francis Duque saying they now have a copy of Purisima's SALN. He said it was included in the bulk of SALNs submitted by the PNP Human Resources Office.
Purisima's SALN listed several properties, including a house and lot in Caloocan City, a condominium unit in Cubao, Quezon City, a vacant lot in Ilocos Sur, and the property in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija.
However, the SALN does not include the multimillion poultry farm in Cabanatuan City. -- Failon Ngayon, ABS-CBN, September 20, 2014
