On comments that the Senate investigation was politically motivated, Trillanes said: “If I fall short on evidence, I will fall flat on my face. The public will not forgive me for instigating the investigation. But if we could come up with evidence, it would justify the investigation.â€
Because Binay is a potential president, all the more reason that he should be scrutinized to find out who he is behind the advertisements and media coverage, the senator said.
He justified the Senate hearing into the alleged corruption in the Makati government as being in aid of legislation on how the local government procurement process is being circumvented.
“We’re establishing a pattern of behavior, the propensity to commit corruption,†said Trillanes, the proponent of the Senate investigation into the allegedly overpriced parking/office building of the Makati City Hall that was started when the Vice President was still the Makati mayor.
The Senate hearing has brought out other allegations of overpricing by the Makati local government, such as in Ospital ng Makati, Makati Science High School and complimentary birthday cakes that are given to senior citizens.
“If they can do that to a cake [sic], they can do that to anything,†Trillanes said.
