SENATE President Francis Escudero raised the need to review the budget for the construction of the new Senate building in Taguig City, which has ballooned to P23 billion from P8.9 billion. Escudero said on Monday he has ordered construction work on the building in Bonifacio Global City suspended, citing concerns over escalating costs.
Binay said in a statement she wondered where Escudero got his information about the construction cost. She said she could have suggested how to save funds had he asked her.'Back in 2019, SP was an incumbent senator and part of 17th Congress, and I believe he has been made aware of the project costs,' the senator said. She described the lack of parking space at the new site as 'fake news.
