Today, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque denied the claim that Duterte’s Cabinet is a ‘millionaire’s club.’

”That’s not true at all,” Roque told The Adobo Chronicles. “As a matter of fact, two of the Cabinet members are billionaires.”

The billionaires are Public Works Secretary Mark Villar who declared a net worth of P1,407,459,436, making him the richest of Cabinet members. Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi is the second richest with P1,355,632,637 in declared net worth.

National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) chief Secretary Liza Maza is the “poorest” in the cabinet  with P1,186,500 worth declared in her 2017 SALN, Malacañang said over the weekend.
