The Philippine vice president will
have his day in Senate. A Senate investigation session will be reserved for Vice
President Binay to respond all the charges over the allegedly Makati building
overpricing.
Senate blue ribbon subcommittee
will issue the formal invitation to VP Binay after the 2 hearings to be held
this week, including the ocular inspection of controversial Php2.28 billion building.
The committee is allotting day’s
session just to hear VP Binay so his statement would not be diluted by others.
“He will have his day in the Senate,”
Senator Pimentel said in an interview.
“As far as our chairman is concerned, the VP
will be treated fairly, senators will be reminded to treat witness fairly, and
respect all the rights appearing before the board,” he added.
Vice President Binay angrily
denied accusations that he made lots of money from the building construction and
accused the two senators Trillanes and Cayetano who initiated the Senate probe,
of staging a “politicized” inquiry.
Pimentel acknowledged that VP Binay could refuse
the invitation. If that were to happen, the committee cannot force him to
appear, he said.
