Lawyers Ask Prosecutors to Investigate Defense Chief Teodoro Over Alleged Use of Maltese Passport
Four lawyers have filed a falsification complaint against Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro at the Pasay City prosecutor's office, alleging that declarations in his 2017 Philippine passport application were inconsistent with a Maltese passport recorded as valid from 2016 to 2026 — a case the Department of National Defense pre-empts by maintaining Teodoro renounced his Maltese citizenship before running for senator in 2022.
