Senator Nancy Binay on Wednesday walked out from the inquiry of the Senate Committee on Accounts after a heated exchange with panel chairman Senator Alan Cayetano.
Binay, who was the former chairperson of the panel, maintained that the cost for the construction has not reached P23 billion as earlier claimed by Escudero and Cayetano, but only P21 billion. “What’s your intention in disturbing our hearing? It’s P23 billion total,” Cayetano told Binay, whom he allowed to attend the hearing although she is not a member of the Accounts committee.
