In all the interviews with Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo on his property in San Francisco in the United States which is not included in his 2007 and 2008 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth, he claimed that VERA Files that did the story, never asked for his side.

He also said, “Unfortunately, either the writer or writers deliberately imposed a malicious twist on the story or they lack knowledge on the legal aspects regarding corporations.”

I’m a trustee of VERA Files, a group that undertakes in depth reporting on current issues. I’m one of the writers of the article, “Arroyo’s sons acquire U.S. Homes, businesses after election to Congress.”

I declare everything I own—Mikey Arroyo

Pampanga Representative Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo on Monday refuted reports of irregularities in his statement of assets liabilities and net worth (SALN), calling them “malicious” and waste of his time.

“I have always been transparent with my SALN ever since I entered public office. I have declared everything I own there. It is self-explanatory,” said Arroyo, eldest son of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, in a statement.
