Vice President Sara Duterte Linked to Jollibee Franchises via Gencorp Amid Impeachment Trial

WHY IT MATTERS

The findings highlight potential conflicts of interest and undeclared wealth for a sitting vice president, undermining public trust and raising constitutional questions.

What happened

During the October 9 impeachment trial, prosecutors presented receipts from five Jollibee outlets in Davao City—Centerpoint Plaza, Gaisano Mall, Abreeza Mall, Times Square Plaza, and Bolton Street—showing Gencorp Industries Inc. as the owner. Gencorp, in which Sara Duterte is a stockholder per her Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth, also secured millions of pesos in contracts with the Davao City government in 2022, the same year she became vice president and her brother Sebastian became mayor. Financial forensic analyst Alexander Cabrera testified that Gencorp’s bank inflows and statements indicate P1. 1 billion in undeclared wealth, and that Duterte has P817 million in undeclared wealth from 2022‑2025, including P212. 6 million from Gencorp. The absence of her name in SEC filings raises conflict‑of‑interest concerns and questions about constitutional compliance.
