00:00Senator Nancy Binay walked out in the middle of the Senate hearing after losing
00:06in which the delegation spent P23 billion on the New Senate Building Project.
00:13The hearing was followed by the order of the Senate President to review the project.
00:19If I'm not mistaken, Ma'am Gonzales was present.
00:23On the first day of the hearing on the construction of the New Senate Building,
00:27the Senate Committee on Accounts Chairperson Senator Alan Peter Cayetano
00:32and his replacement, Senator Nancy Binay, were heated.
00:35According to Binay, there is no basis for the P23 billion spent by Senate President
00:40Cheese Escudero as the total value of the New Senate Building.
00:44You're messing up the hearing. There's nothing to mess up.
00:47That's what I was told.
00:48So if you're going to say it's wrong, what's the right number?
00:51That's what I was told.
00:53Ma'am, we're talking about the side of the DPWH.
00:57Yes, come to me first, Senator Nancy. I'm still the chair.
01:00No, no, the problem with you is that you keep going around.
01:02We even met at the party. There's a cell phone.
01:04You're not talking to us and you're messing up the hearing.
01:07Because there's no P23 billion.
01:12Cayetano also asked Binay about the P600 million landscaping for the New Senate Building.
01:18DPWH should explain that.
01:21Because at the moment, it's not there yet.
01:24Because we're still at the point where we're talking about this.
01:27Why is it not there yet? March 2023 is what's written for you.
01:31You were removed last month.
01:33So for a year, you didn't move during your term.
01:36Then you're going to say the delay is on us.
01:39What's written for you is March 2023.
01:41Because, Mr. Chairman, we're in the process of reviewing everything.
01:44So if you want to help with the review, you're welcome.
01:47If you want to debate, we're outside.
01:49Until the issue of Binay in Makati and Cayetano in Taguig was brought up.
01:54Maybe this is Makati-Taguig.
01:57You said someone is stabbing you in the back.
01:59Then you're accusing of attempted murder.
02:01Okay, I'll ask you later who's stabbing.
02:04But it's not me.
02:05That's what I know.
02:06Actually, Mr. Chairman, did you say that?
02:09I'm not saying that it's you.
02:11Then how will you say in the media that this has something to do with Taguig and Makati?
02:16But you said someone is stabbing you in the back.
02:18But did I say that Alan Peter Cayetano is stabbing me?
02:22Didn't they say that when they react like that, it's like they're guilty?
02:26Your name should be Lourdes, not Marites.
02:28It's embarrassing.
02:30Senator Robin Padilla was tried by both sides.
02:34Can we just move on to suspend?
02:38Cayetano's explanation came from the Senate Coordinating Staff,
02:42that Binay used to own 21.7 billion pesos for the new Senate building.
02:48If the land that was bought includes more than 1.6 billion pesos,
02:52it will amount to more than 23 billion pesos.
02:56But Binay insisted that the land that was bought by DPWH is not enough.
03:01It's just a house that they're talking about.
03:03It's time for them to fight again.
03:06The problem is you're not listening.
03:07That's it, Mr. Chairman.
03:08You don't know how to read.
03:1121 became 23.
03:13I didn't say that 23 came from them.
03:16So, ma'am, make your point and then move on.
03:19Well, my point is...
03:20Move on because you're out of order.
03:22DPWH, does the amount of 23 billion exist in your documents?
03:30I understand, Mr. Chairman.
03:31Thank you.
03:32Sorry, sorry, ma'am.
03:33There is not...
03:35Binay walked out of the meeting.
03:37You're taboo.
03:39Let's finish this properly.
03:41This is the Senate of the Philippines.
03:42This is not a market.
03:44It reminds me of 23.
03:46It looks like this is a replay of the 24 Senate hearings of 23.
03:53It looks like you have that treatment.
03:55How does that feel?
03:57Of course, we're just humans.
03:59It's like the wound that I thought was healed,
04:05but it's like it was opened again because I remember what they did to my family,
04:10how they destroyed our name.
04:14What she meant when she heard in 2015
04:16was the Senate's rejection of Kayetano Rin's nomination
04:20for the overpricing of the Makati City Hall Parking Building 2.
04:24The contractor of that project, Hilmars Construction Corporation,
04:27is also the contractor of the new Senate building.
04:31Meanwhile, DPWH admitted that it is not yet certain
04:34when the entire new Senate building will be completed
04:36with more than 800 days of delay.
04:39Those delays are due to the variations.
04:42Yes, someone said that.
04:43From the time Senator Escudero and myself took over,
04:46did we have a delay?
04:47Did we have a delay and a cost delay?
04:49The project has not yet been delayed.
04:52It also came out in the hearing
04:54that the variation orders will reach almost P700 million
04:58or the changes in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the new Senate building.
05:01The design fee of P258 million at first
05:05increased to P430 million due to the revisions.
05:09The Senate and the designer did not talk
05:12before the detailed architectural and engineering design was released.
05:15In the following hearings,
05:17the committee will call the contractor and Senate coordinating team
05:21to explain the costs of the new Senate building.
05:24For GMA Integrated News,
05:26I'm Mav Gonzalez,
05:27for Tutok, 24 Hours.
