FALSE. A viral post claims that the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) testified or “confessed” about the bank transactions of Vice President Sara Duterte.
FACT. There are no official records, reports, or statements showing that BPI testified on Duterte’s bank accounts. The claim is unsupported and misleading.
A post from StarTalk Pinoy alleged that BPI had disclosed details of the vice president’s bank transactions, gaining traction online despite lacking verification from credible sources.
The content misuses the bank’s name and branding to create a false impression of legitimacy.
No statement, testimony, or disclosure from BPI supports the claim, indicating that the circulating posts are false and misleading.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) disclosed during a House Committee on Justice hearing that it received reports of alleged suspicious transactions linked to Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, amounting to P6.77 billion.
Committee chair Gerville Luistro clarified that the subpoena covered reports of unusual financial activity, including transactions exceeding P500,000 or those inconsistent with declared financial capacity.
