The Comelec Chief's wife submitted the affidavit on August 1, five days after she sought an audience with Pres.

Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista, an appointee of Pres. Benigno S. Aquino in May 2015 and former chairman of the Presidential Commission on Good Government since 2010, declared a net worth of just P176.3 million on his latest SALN.

In the sworn affidavit of Mrs. Patricia Bautista, 47, said she was disclosing "certain information and documents that would show that Andy (Bautista's nickname) might have had, or currently has, misdealing and corrupt practices while in government service."


Among the pieces of information Patricia disclosed to Mr. Duterte and the NBI, which were not in Bautista’s SALN:
  • 35 Luzon Development Bank (LDB) passbooks with a total balance of P329,220,962 
  •  A foreign currency account with Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) with $12,778.30, or P640,959.53 (at P50.16 [as of Aug. 4] to $1.00)
  •  An RCBC peso account with P257,931.60
  •  An HSBC account with HK$948,358.97 or P6.10 million (at P6.43 to HK$1.00)
  •  A condominium unit in One Bonifacio High Street at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig City 
  •  A condo unit in The District in San Francisco, California
The wife of the Comelec chief said in her affidavit that based on her own assessment, the cumulative value of the properties at their acquisition costs was between P250 million and P300 million, “definitely more than P158.5 million” that Bautista declared in his 2016 SALN.

Mrs. Bautisa also revealed that she discovered investments abroad "in the form of this interests in corporations and loan agreements" that were not declared in the SALN of Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista.
