MANILA – Vice President Jejomar Binay welcomed on Tuesday the plan of the Senate to investigate the alleged overpriced Makati City Hall car park building, saying it will be a good opportunity to explain his side.

”We are happy that we will be investigated in the Senate. We will be able to show to God and to the people that the accusation is not true and baseless,” Binay said in a media interview.

Binay said the Senate resolution calling for the Senate inquiry was politically motivated since it was already declared by the Commission on Audit (COA) that there was no overpricing.

”The COA checked the price properly and they said there was no overpricing,” Binay said.

He explained that the 11-storey building was not for parking only as cited in the Senate Resolution 826 filed by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.

”It’s not a parking building. Only part of it. It is a government office. We will show it (in the Senate),” he stressed.

Binay said the controversy was part of the efforts to discredit him as presidential aspirant in the 2016 national elections.

”I told you, they will not stop from filing different kinds of cases, but we will show it’s baseless. We will face anybody and we will say, it’s not true,” Binay said.

When asked why the controversy is being investigated in the Senate, the Vice President replied: “Please ask them (Senate).”

Trillanes, who is contemplating of running for higher position in 2016, said he would prefer the Vice President to personally explain his side in the Senate inquiry.

Binay’s daughter, Sen. Nancy Binay, however, said Trillanes should better file an impeachment complaint “if they have allegation of corruptions against my father.

”I think the right process is for him (Trillanes) to file an impeachment complaint against the Vice President,” the vice president’s daughter said in a media interview.

The lady lawmaker believed “it is obviously a demolition job.”
