ILOILO City – Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog’s mansion in Las Conchas Del Mar Subdivision, Brgy. Namocon, Tigbauan, Iloilo was acquired long before he became the city mayor, his spokesperson clarified.

The city mayor’s liaison officer for political affairs Jeffry Celiz said the mansion was a conjugal property bought year after Mabilog was elected as city councilor in 2004.

Based on the 2006 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) of Mabilog, the house and lot in Tigbuan worth P1.44 million was acquired in 2005.

“There is no truth to reports that the property was bought during the mayor’s first year in office.

It was acquired way back in 2005 when he was still a neophyte city councilor,” Celiz explained.

Apart from the aforementioned mansion, Mabilog owns another residential house in Tigbauan.

The other one was worth P1.48 million and it is adjacent to the first property.

Celiz said Mabilog, as a public official, has been very transparent in all his dealings, especially in declaring his properties and debts.

“The mayor is not hiding his properties, and even his liabilities, from the public. However, we are saddened that these properties were being tainted by malicious imputations,” Celiz said.

The mansions in Tigbauan are currently being occupied by Mabilog’s relatives.

Mabilog and his family are permanently residing in Brgy. Tap-oc, Molo district here.

Meanwhile, Mabilog’s net worth as of December 2008 reached P42.3 million. Mabilog’s SALN for fiscal year 2009-2010 has not yet been disclosed to the press.

All public officials are required to submit their respective SALNs in the Bureau of Internal Revenue annually pursuant to Section 6 of Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees./PN
