"IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW THIS..."

Davao City Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte on Tuesday, Sept. 29, said that he has no personal knowledge or information of his sister's disclosure of her Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN), nor her business interests and investments.

Baste claimed that he and the Vice President did not simply discuss such matters, citing her privacy and that it's not his responsibility to have such knowledge on his sister's affairs. (Video courtesy of Senate of the Philippines)
