As declared by the official in their Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth, via SALN Tracker Philippines (BetterGov.ph). SALNs are filed only while in public service, so the earliest one is usually the entry statement. Assets are often declared at acquisition cost, not market value. A rise in declared net worth is not by itself evidence of wrongdoing.

Pulse check

Do you approve of how Lito Lapid is doing the job?

Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Family connections

No family relationships or surname bloc on record
No documented relatives, and no other 2025 officials in this province share the surname.

Campaign promises

No campaign promises tracked yet
Promises are added with the date, source, and responsible office. They are only marked “Completed” when there is documentary evidence, never based on campaign statements alone.

Awards & achievements

No awards or achievements recorded yet
Each achievement is classified as an official award, a public recognition, an independently verified accomplishment, a self-reported achievement, or a campaign claim. Campaign materials are never treated as independent evidence.

Performance

Public Accountability & Performance Index

A transparent composite of measurable public-service indicators. It does not measure personal integrity, and unproven allegations are never used as a penalty. Weights are demonstration settings you can change.
