Vice President Binay’s camp questioned
the plan of COA to tap with outsider experts to help its internal auditors
conduct special audit on the controversial Parking building in Makati City.
United Nationalist Alliance Secretary
General and a Navotas Representative Tobias Tiangco said that Binay camp has no
objections towards COA decision on seeking for help of non-COA experts to audit
examiners and conduct special audit on the overpriced building in Makati.
“Commission on Audit can set its guidelines
in conducting a special audit examination. Expectedly and we believe that the
guidelines that will be applicable to both parties not on the government’s side
only,” Tiangco stated.
The Chairperson of COA Pulido Tan
revealed that her team is now on the process of negotiating on non government construction
experts to help audit examiners determine the truth about the Makati building.
Tiangco also rebuked Senators Cayetano
and Trillanes in their perceptible attempt to misinform public behind the irregularities
in the fund disbursements of Makati.
Tiangco also said that Trillanes
and Cayetano showed that they are involved in the smear drive towards VP Binay
and other members of his family.
Tiangco also deplored repudiation
of the two senators to cite Bondal in contempt for lying under the oath and for
perjuring himself when he claimed that the birthday cakes distributed by the
city government to senior citizens were overpriced and cost over Php1,000 each.
In the preceding Senate hearing,
Bondal was confronted with the audit records that city government of Makati paid
only P300 per cake.
The lawyer later admitted that he
was guessing about the cost of the cake.
