Duterte has a net worth for 2015 of only P23,514,569.93, or a slight P1.54-million increase in his declared net worth in 2014.Duterte’s cash on hand/in bank, according to his latest SALN, was just P14,839,69.93, as of Dec. 31, 2015.Duterte filed his SALN for 2015 early -- on April 21, 2016, or nine days ahead of the April 30 deadline.In contrast, until yesterday noon, Vice President Jejomar ‘Jojo’ C. Binay, another candidate for president, had yet to file his SALN for 2015 with the Office of the Ombudsman. Meanwhile, there is a waiting period of 10 working days to secure the 2015 SALNs of fellow presidentiables Senators Grace Poe and Miriam Defensor-Santiago – that is, if they have already submitted these. Former Interior and Local Governments Secretary Manuel ‘Mar’ Roxas II, though, will not have to file a SALN this time around, since he is no longer a government official.Interest in Duterte’s SALNs has surged following allegations that he has bank accounts through which <a href='http://news.abs-cbn.com/halalan2016/focus/04/27/16/trillanes-duterte-a-fraud-didnt-declare-p211m-in-saln'>hundreds of millions of pesos</a> have supposed passed through. For sure, certified bank records may be needed for anyone to prove or disprove such allegations. But what Duterte’s SALNs do show is a phenomenal growth rate over the last 19 years.The earliest SALN Duterte had filed that is on PCIJ's archives is for the year 1997, in which he declared a net worth of only P897,792.The Davao City mayor's net worth of P23.5 million for 2015 redounds to a 2,519 percent increase, or a phenomenal growth rate of 132.6 percent on average per year, over the last 19 years.By comparison, Binay's net worth grew from P2.9 million in 1989 to P60.20 million in his SALN for 2014, for a cumulative increase of 1,975 percent in 25 years, or an average of 79 per cent per year.Roxas, the administration Liberal Party's candidate for president, reported a net worth of P12.76 million in 1993, and grew this to P202.08 million in 2014. This results in a 1,483 percent growth in 21 years, or 70.61 percent on average per year.Defensor-Santiago, candidate for president of the People's Reform Party, showed a modest uptick in her declared net worth -- from P48.00 million in 1994 to P73.03 million in 2014, for a 52.14 percent growth in 20 years, or 2.6 percent annual average growth.And then there is the case of Poe, presidential bet of the Galing at Puso slate, which is one of progressively declining wealth. Poe declared a net worth of P152.5 million in 2010, but this slipped steadily to P89.46 million in her SALN for 2014, for a net regression of 41.34 percent in four years, or negative 10.32 percent on average per year.Although far from being “perfect” financial reporting instruments, SALNs often contain interesting information about a public official or candidate’s wealth, regardless of whether or not the official or candidate had been forthright about all the details.<div class='embed-wrap'><figure data-feedback='fb:likes,fb:comments'><img src='http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2016/nation2/04/29/duterte-042916.jpg' ><figcaption><div class='embed-desc'>Davao City mayor and presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte.

Reyes, and Ecoland, all in Davao City.Notably, like his net worth, Duterte's "cash on hand/in bank" has charted an upward trek in the last two decades, save for one year.In 1998, Duterte said he had P339,245 "cash on hand/in bank" and net worth of P1,047,792 as of December that year.In 1999, he declared exactly the same amount of "cash on hand/in bank", but also a bigger net worth of P1,447,542.In 2000, his “cash on hand/in bank” grew to P512,135, and his net worth, P1,766,722.In 2002, it climbed to P889,441, and his net worth, P2,834,028.In 2004, it jumped to P3,220,312, and his net worth, P7,024,899.In 2005, it rose to P4,621,193, and his net worth, P8,425,780.In 2006, it became P6,071,460, and his net worth, P8,650,627.In 2007, he declared it at P7,079,199, and his net worth, P9,685,366.In 2008, he put it at P7,514,124.
