00:00Senator Nancy Binay walked out of a Senate hearing after they lost to Senator Alan Peter Cayetano
00:07over the killing of the new Senate building in Taguig.
00:10Ma'am Gonzales reports.
00:14It was just the first day of the hearing on the killing of the new Senate building.
00:18The Senate Committee on Accounts Chairperson Senator Alan Peter Cayetano
00:23and his replacement chair, Senator Nancy Binay, were heated.
00:26According to Binay, there is no basis for the 23 billion pesos mentioned by Senate President Cheese Escudero
00:32as the total value of the new Senate building.
00:35You're messing up the hearing. There's no need to mess it up.
00:38That's what was submitted to me. So if you're going to say it's wrong, what's the correct number?
00:42That's what was submitted to me.
00:44What we're talking about now is the side of the DTWA.
00:48Yes, and to me first, Senator Nancy, I'm still the chair.
00:51No, no, the problem with you is you keep going around.
00:53We even met at the party. We had a cell phone.
00:55You didn't talk to us and now you're messing up the hearing.
00:58Because there's no 23B.
01:00There's a 23B.
01:02There's a 23B.
01:03Cayetano also asked Binay about the 600 million pesos landscaping for the new Senate building.
01:09DPWH should explain that because at the moment,
01:13it's not there yet because we're still at the point where we're talking about this.
01:18Why is it not there yet? March 2023 is what you wrote.
01:21You were removed just last month.
01:23So for a year, you didn't move during your term.
01:26And now you're saying that we have a delay.
01:29What you wrote was March 20, 2023.
01:31Because, Mr. Chairman, we're in the process of reviewing everything.
01:35So if you want to help with the review, you're welcome.
01:37If you want to debate, we're outside.
01:40Until the issue of Binay in Makati and Cayetano in Taguig was raised.
01:45You're an inventor. Maybe this is Makati-Taguig.
01:48You said there was someone behind you.
01:50Then you're accused of attempted murder.
01:52I will ask you later who's behind you.
01:55But it's not me.
01:56What I know is that you will say...
01:58Actually, Mr. Chairman, did I say you?
02:00I'm not saying that it's you.
02:02You will say in the media that there's someone in Taguig and Makati.
02:06Then you will say that there's someone behind you.
02:09But did I say that Alan Peter Cayetano is behind me?
02:13Didn't they say that when they react like that, they might be guilty?
02:17Your name is Lourdes, not Marites.
02:19It's shameful.
02:21Senator Robin Padilla tried to get in between the two.
02:24Can we just suspend?
02:28Cayetano's explanation came from the Senate Coordinating Staff
02:32that Binay's former employees are worth P21.7 billion for the new Senate building.
02:38If we include the land he bought, which is worth more than P1.6 billion,
02:42it will amount to more than P23 billion.
02:46According to Binay,
02:47DPWH is not involved in the purchase of the land.
02:51They are just discussing it.
02:53It's like the two are fighting again.
02:55The problem is that you're not listening.
02:57That's it, Mr. Chairman.
02:58You don't know how to read.
03:00P21 became P23.
03:02I didn't say that P23 came from them.
03:05So, ma'am, make your point and then move on.
03:09My point is...
03:10Move on because you're out of order.
03:11Does DPWH exist in your documents, the amount of P23 billion?
03:19There is none, Mr. Chairman.
03:21Thank you.
03:22There is none.
03:24Binay walked out of the hearing.
03:27Canada is taboo.
03:29Let's finish this properly.
03:31This is the Senate of the Philippines.
03:32This is not a market.
03:33It reminds me of P23.
03:36This is a replay of the 24 Senate hearings of P23.
03:43It's like there's a treatment for you.
03:45Of course, we're just humans.
03:48It's like the wound that I thought was healed was opened again
03:56because I remember what they did to my family
03:59and how they destroyed our name.
04:04What he meant by the 2015 hearings
04:06is the Senate's failure to prioritize Kayetano Rin
04:09due to the overpricing of Makati City Hall Parking Building 2.
04:13The contractor of that project, Hilmars Construction Corporation,
04:17is also the contractor of the new Senate building.
04:20Meanwhile, DPWH admitted that it is not yet certain
04:24when the new Senate building will be completed
04:26with more than 800 days of delay.
04:28Those delays are due to variations.
04:32Yes.
04:33From the time Senator Escudero and myself took over,
04:36did we have a delay?
04:37Did we have a halt and a cost delay?
04:39The project has not yet been delayed.
04:42It was also revealed that the variation orders
04:45or changes to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the new Senate building
04:49will reach almost P700 million.
04:51The design fee of P258 million at first
04:54increased to P430 million due to revisions.
04:58The Senate and the designer did not talk
05:01before the detailed architectural and engineering design was released.
05:05In the next hearings, the committee will call
05:08the contractor and Senate coordinating team
05:10to explain the expenses of the new Senate building.
