Senator Nancy Binay on Tuesday walked out from the inquiry of the Senate committee on accounts regarding the supposed increased funding for the New Senate Building after trading barbs with panel chairman Senator Alan Cayetano.Cayetano launched the inquiry into the matter after Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero ordered a review on the cost of the building, noting that the funding for the construction has already reached P23 billion.
Binay, 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."Do your math. P21 is not P23 . Mr. Chairman, pareho ba ang P21 at P23 ? " Binay said.Cayetano, for his part, maintained that the cost is P23 billion as this includes the P1.6 billion for the land acquisition.
