Mike Arroyo's BeachFront Home

MANILA, Philippines—Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo has not declared in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) for the last two years a $1.32-million (P63.7-million) beachfront property in the San Francisco Bay area in California that he bought and then transferred to his wife Angela in 2006.

Recently Phil. Americans held a rally in front of his House in house at 1655 Beach Park Blvd. in Foster City, San Mateo County California witch is dug up by vera files.

The house at 1655 Beach Park Blvd. is a five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-story house that sits on a 600-square meter lot facing the San Francisco Bay.

Data from the San Mateo County assessor’s office show that Mikey transferred the ownership of the house to his wife, Angela Arroyo Montenegro, and registered it under her name in August 2006 in what is called an “interfamily transfer.”

The Arroyos paid $1,452 in taxes when they bought the Foster City property in 2006. Last year, they paid $14,239 or P692,000 in property taxes.

Mikey, 40, wed Angela, his second cousin, on June 24, 2002. They have two daughters, Mikaela Gloria and Marie Angelique. Mikey’s father, First Gentleman Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, and Angela’s mother, Rosario Arroyo, are first cousins.

Angela’s father, Herman Montenegro, was president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and is chair and president of HM Group of Companies.

Shortly after Mikey and Angela were married, Montenegro became treasurer and chair of the ways and means committee of the President’s party, Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi).

Mikey could not be reached despite repeated attempts by Vera Files to get his side by phone. He did not reply, either, to questions Vera Files texted several times to his two mobile phone numbers.

(Contacted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Sunday, however, Mikey insisted that he had been transparent in filing his SALN since winning a seat in Congress in 2004. “I have declared everything I own in my SALN. It is self-explanatory,” he said in a text message.

(He suggested that those who have doubts contact his lawyer who prepared his SALN for him.

(“If they still have doubts, they can sue me. I don’t want to waste my time dealing with issues like this. There are far more important things to do, such as helping the government find ways to lessen the impact of the global financial crisis,” Mikey said.)

Good to know that are fellow Filipino's in California are much aware of these, They even went in front of Mikey Arroyo's house to held a rally that has been televised in TV Patrol Philippines
