00:00Senator Nancy Binay's field of study is the filing of an ethics complaint against Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
00:09This is followed by their response to the hearing of the new Senate building built by Ma'am Gonzales.
00:19You will tell the media that this has something to do with Taguig and Makati.
00:23But...
00:24Then you will say that someone is behind you.
00:26Did I say that Alan Peter Cayetano is behind me?
00:30Didn't they say that when they react like that, they might be guilty?
00:34Ma'am, your name is lordless, not Marites.
00:36It's embarrassing.
00:37After a heated discussion in the Senate about the construction of the new Senate building yesterday,
00:45Senator Nancy Binay's walkout was followed by her field of study on the filing of an ethics complaint
00:51against Senate Accounts Committee Chair, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
00:55Binay has not yet read the entire transcript of the hearing and her legal team is still studying it.
01:01But Binay said that it's okay even if Cayetano did not ask for a dispense
01:05where he will make it public in the hearing that a senator's claim is not correct.
01:10GMA Integrated News is still trying to get Senator Cayetano's file.
01:14Yesterday, Binay and Cayetano disputed the 23 billion pesos worth of the new Senate building
01:21that was previously said by Senate President Chase Escudero.
01:24Cayetano said that the 21.7 billion pesos worth of the new Senate building
01:29came from the Senate Coordinating Staff of former members of Binay.
01:33If the purchase of land worth more than 1.6 billion pesos is included,
01:38it will amount to more than 23 billion pesos.
01:41But Binay said that the purchase of land is not included in what DPWH is doing.
01:47In the hearing, Cayetano interviewed Department of Public Works and Highways Senior, Yusick Emil Sadain
01:53because of what he said in an interview with GMA Integrated News.
01:57Here, Sadain said that the cost of the construction will not reach 23 billion pesos.
02:02There is still 5.7 billion pesos under review for Phase 3.
02:07And if the amount that was already funded and is still being reviewed is included,
02:10the new Senate building is worth 16.8 billion pesos.
02:14But Cayetano showed DPWH's letter to former Accounts Committee Chair Binay.
02:20If you speak, it will not reach 23 billion.
02:23In the same letter that came from you, the 23 billion is correct.
02:27Here is the letter. Here, you have a signature and copy-purnished.
02:32What you said is 5.7 billion.
02:34Actually, what you proposed to us for bidding is 8.5 billion.
02:38For negotiating, 7.3 billion.
02:40So what you gave is wrong, sir.
02:42It's wrong, Mr. Chair.
02:43So I think you owe an apology to the Senate.
02:46I stand corrected, Mr. Chair, and we seek apology for that figure.
02:51On your documentation, there's no such thing as 23 billion for DPWH.
02:57So I think you, Sadain, don't need to apologize.
03:02In the end, DPWH's answer is that there's really no 23 billion in their documents.
03:08Yesterday, one of Cayetano's questions was about the facade of the new Senate building
03:12that hasn't started yet because it's still in Phase 3 of construction.
03:16Shouldn't it be included in the shell and core of the building
03:19that is being built by Hillmarks Construction Corporation?
03:22All buildings have a facade.
03:23What I know is that they included it in the shell and core, not in the fit-out.
03:27The shell refers to the overall structural frame,
03:30including foundation system, exterior walls, floor slab, and roof decks,
03:34complete with common areas, staircases, elevator shaft.
03:37The facade is the exterior wall.
03:39So you mean you didn't take Hillmarks' quote for the facade?
03:43They have a quotation, I think 1.6 for the facade.
03:48They didn't submit 1.6, other companies submitted 1.6.
03:52You tell me the truth here, if not, I will hold you in contempt.
03:55Don't fool us here.
03:57This is just a clarification, let's fool each other.
03:59In the beginning, Hillmarks told you that they can do it, and how much.
04:04That's why I told you to submit all the documents, but you didn't submit all.
04:08You didn't submit your internal documents.
04:11In the estimated cost of phase 3 of construction,
04:14the facade of the building will reach more than 1.6 billion pesos.
04:18But according to Cayetano, there is another option of 900 million pesos only for the facade.
04:24I'm not saying anything wrong or irregular here.
04:27What I'm saying is, tell us everything.
04:31Because before the Senate President, before the majority, I will represent them.
04:37DPWH did not respond to this because there are other issues that were asked to Cayetano.
04:42In an interview with Balitang Hali earlier,
04:44Binay said that he can explain everything, but he refused to talk to Cayetano,
04:50to Senator Ping Lackson, who was also the chairman of the Committee on Accounts.
04:54I think the best person to explain to him is Senator Lackson.
04:59That's why we approached Senator Lackson.
05:01If possible, the three of us can talk.
05:03He sent out a message to Senator Alan.
05:07The mere fact that he declined the invite of Senator Lackson,
05:10the three of us can talk,
05:12I hope he can explain where those numbers came from.
05:18We asked for Cayetano's statement, but he did not respond.
05:21In the next hearing, the contractor of the project,
05:25Helmars Construction Corporation,
05:27has been working for several weeks for GMI Integrated News
05:30to get the approval of Helmars in this matter.
05:32For GMI Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
