The Senate cannot afford further delays in constructing its new building in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City as this might entail additional costs, Senator Nancy Binay said Monday.The lawmaker issued the statement the same day Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero ordered the suspension and the review of the construction of the new Senate building as he expressed concerns over the increased budget for the project from P8.9 billion to P23 billion.
Binay noted that in 2019 or when the project was initiatied, Escudero was an incumbent senator, saying that she believes "he has been made aware of the project costs.""In February 2019, Sen. Panfilo Lacson made it clear on the floor that the approved Multi-year Obligation Authority for the NSB is P8.9B which covers the 'core and shell' of the four-tower NSB--and the interior and fit-OTS are entirely separate," she said.
