00:00The feud between Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Nancy Binay takes center stage in a Senate
00:06hearing that is supposed to look into the ballooning construction costs of the new Senate
00:10building.
00:11Cayetano launches the inquiry into the issue in his capacity as Committee on Accounts chairman
00:16after Senate President Chiz Escudero ordered a comprehensive review.
00:20At the hearing, former Committee on Accounts Chair Binay refutes Cayetano's claim, saying
00:25the construction costs only P21.7 billion and not P23 billion.
00:32Cayetano insists the cost is at P23 billion due to land acquisition.
00:36Towards the end of the heated exchange, Binay asks the Department of Public Works and Highways
00:41if there was a P23 billion amount in their documents.
