MANILA \u2013 The Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee has recommended the citing of Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin ‘JunJun’ Binay and six other city officials in contempt for continued refusal to attend the Senate inquiries into the alleged overpriced Makati City Hall building.<\/p>\n

Blue Ribbon subpanel chairman Sen. Aquilino \u2018Koko\u2019 Pimentel III said on Tuesday he signed the recommendation to the mother committee chairman, Sen. Teofisto \u2018TG\u2019 Guingona III, to cite the seven Makati City officials in contempt.<\/p>\n

\u201dMy referrals have already been submitted to Senator TG to cite in contempt some of the officials. I signed them a week ago,\u201d Pimentel said in a media interview.<\/p>\n

Aside from Binay, others facing contempt are Prof. Tomas Lopez Jr., Eduviges \u2018Ebeng\u2019 Baloloy, Marjorie de Veyra, Atty. Eleno Mendoza, Engr. Line dela Pena and Bernadette Portollano.<\/p>\n

Binay attended the second Senate inquiry but he never returned in any of the next 11 hearings.<\/p>\n

Last Oct. 2, 2014, Pimentel had required the seven respondents to show cause why they should not be cited in contempt for failing to testify in the Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 Senate hearings.<\/p>\n

Pimentel said in the recommendation letters that he found the reasons of the respondents for defying subpoenas “unacceptable.<\/p>\n

On the request of Claro Certeza, lawyer of the Makati City officials, to provide them with advanced copies of questions by the senators, Pimentel found it a “novel” request which he said would find no ground even to the Supreme Court (SC).<\/p>\n

\u201dMaybe the SC will entertain it because of novelty of idea but, as a lawyer, I know of no ground to grant the request first before enforcing a subpoena,\u201d Pimentel said.<\/p>\n

\u201dI\u2019m sorry but I cannot find reasons why the Makati City officials are on different level that they have such a right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Pimentel said the Senate probe on the PhP1.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe have pending matters on the Makati Science Building. I\u2019m going over the documents we found useful in the parking building. I\u2019ve read also that Sen. (Antonio) Trillanes has something to say. So, let\u2019s wait and see,\u201d Pimentel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
