Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano and Duterte allies Senators Ronald dela Rosa, Imee Marcos and Rodante Marcoleta comprised the last batch to disclose their SALNs, as they allowed the Office of the Senate Secretary to release copies of the documents to anyone requesting for one.

With the latest disclosures, Sen. Mark Villar — a scion of one of the richest families in the country — has emerged as the wealthiest senator with a net worth of P1.2 billion, followed by Sen. Raffy Tulfo with P1.05 billion. Sen. Francis Escudero is the “poorest” senator with P18.8 million net worth.
