00:00The two reviews of the construction of the new house for the Senate are continuously rolling.
00:05According to Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, chairman of the Committee on Accounts,
00:09the first review is focused on phase 1 and 2 of the construction
00:13to find out why there are a lot of changes and why the expenses are high.
00:17The second is on phase 3 where it will be found out if it can be lowered.
00:21The additional 10 billion Pesos fund is asking for the house's quality not to be affected.
00:27They also continue to consult with the DPWH and former chairpersons of the Committee on Accounts,
00:33Senator Nancy Binay and former Senator Panfilo Lacson.
00:38However, Cayetano assured that they will also conduct a face-to-face briefing
00:43to clearly answer the issue of the high cost of the construction of the house.
00:48Our objective is to have an iconic, functional building for the Senate
00:56that will be a symbol of democracy.
00:59If it becomes too expensive or the most expensive building in the Philippines,
01:07it will not be a symbol of democracy and the pride of our country.
01:14This is a bit of an insult to others.
