00:00Senator Alan Peter Cayetano reopened the issue of the cost of building the new Senate building.

00:07The senator was dismayed because there was no costing for the third and last phase of the project.

00:13Mark Salazar was the one who pointed it out.

00:15In the Senate hearing on the budget of the DPWH, Senator Alan Cayetano raised his issue to the agency.

00:28This is in line with the so-called hearing of his committee on the new Senate building

00:33that was not attended by a public works secretary and an undersecretary.

00:37The people you sent are lying to me.

00:41This is a letter where the fund came out, how much the Senate needs.

00:50And when I asked them, their answer is that it stopped here and this is still costing P2021.

00:59I asked the DPWH, please submit to me a costing. It's already September, I don't have it yet.

01:04So there's no one else to blame if it was delayed, if not the SP and me.

01:08The costing for the third and last phase of the project is still not given.

01:14If we can cost P1 trillion, why can't we cost P3 trillion?

01:23I'm not afraid if there's no mistake. I just want to get the right price and finish it.

01:29In the example of the facade or in front of the new Senate building, the DPWH lowered the costing.

01:36But the value given to him by the DPWH is not true.

01:41P1 billion is too expensive.

01:43So he made P400 million.

01:45The P400 million is not all-in.

01:49When I computed, it's still P2.7 billion including the glass.

01:53The senator only wants to know three things.

01:55How much will the new Senate building really cost?

01:59When will it be finished?

02:01And how can we ensure that the cost and schedule will be followed?

02:06Kayatano wants to ask for high-level meetings with Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan.

02:12The intention here is how to make people proud of this beautiful building that is being built.

02:18Apologies. I have to sit down again with the implementing office.

02:22To be fair, we'll just have...

02:24Patches of truth.

02:26Yes.

02:28But I need the whole truth.

02:30We are still trying to contact the DPWH to detail the costing and schedule of work of the new Senate building.

02:38But they are not responding.

02:40For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar.
