MANILA, Philippines – Vice
President Jejomar Binay and his son Mayor Junjun Binay received plunder
complaint that was filed by the two former barangay chairmen of Makati City.
Renato Bondal, who
stands as the lawyer of former barangay chairman of Palanan and Nicolas Enciso
VI, ex-barangay chief of Olimpia, sued in their complaint that the New Makati
City parking building was overpriced by P1.3 billion from its actual cost
P245.5 million. But the final price of the contract was fixed at P1.56 billion.
The construction of the
11-storey building sited along F. Zobel Street, Poblacion, Makati City, was
started in 2007 and financed through the first appropriation ordinance which
was said to be the project approved by the Vice president.
Moreover, Binay's son,
Junjun Binay along with the members of the city council, approved six addition
appropriation ordinances for the construction of the building, having the worth
of P1.160 billion.
"This parking building has become the most expensive parking
building in the country, if not the entire world, and the Binays and the other
respondents, should be held responsible for this act of wanton misuse and
plunder of public funds," the complainants said.
Last 2013, the project was turned over to the local city
government of Makati.
Aside from the Binays, Commission on Audit resident Auditor Cecile
Cag-anan was questioned for ailing to exercise her sworn obligation to
protect the city treasury of Makati from any corruption of misuse of funds.
