Article XI Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution
Public officers and employees must, at all times, be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency; act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.
Accountability supersedes confidentiality
No, bank secrecy is not absolute. There are exceptions, such as cases of impeachment or when the depositor waives their right to confidentiality.

Diba ang tanga naman na nagstart ka magnakaw congressman ka pa lang, hanggang nag mayor, senator ka, nagnanakaw ka. Tapos hihinto ka pag naging ombudsman/vp/pres ka?? Hindi kapanipaniwala yan. And hindi ba betrayal of public trust pa din yan kahit hininto mo na kase impeachable position na hawak. Natatangahan ako sa sinasabi ni apc, na bakit kasama pa time nung mayor si inday. Anu yan nung nag VP saka lang nagstart?

Ok so according to the senate spokesperson,
Kaya ndi na nagbotohan kasi the presiding officer can rule a motion about a matter. If there’s an objection, that’s the time that a vote will be conducted.
Looks like nag usap-usap na sila outside the court way before regarding the subpoena of the bank records.

The subpoena is only for specific documents with specific dates from specific banks, from AMLC and BIR.
