Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has no comment on his reported ownership of an 800-square-meter condominium unit in Avignon Tower in Salcedo Village, Makati City.
Speaking to ABS-CBN News, Atty. Maria Teresa Sibulo, who heads Carpio’s staff at the Supreme Court, said Carpio does not comment on issues and has not given any reaction on the report.
News reports bare Carpio, the reported top contender for Chief Justice should Renato Corona vacate the post, owns the said condominium unit, prompting calls for Malacañang to also dig deeper into his wealth and assets.
Corona, who is facing impeachment charges before the Senate, is under fire for allegedly owning a 303.5-square meter unit in The Bellagio worth P14.5 million. A report by Raissa Robles said brokers estimated the actual cost of the luxury penthouse unit at P26.68 million.
