No more reason to pursue ICC Senate probe? November 16, - TopicsExpress

No more reason to pursue ICC Senate probe? November 16, 2014 MANILA – There nothing more to investigate on the alleged overpricing of the Iloilo Convention Center (ICC) after the alleged whistle-blower could only present Wikipedia as the basis of his claim, said Liberal Party secretary general and Samar congressman Mel Senen Sarmiento. Sarmiento said the supposed explosive revelations former Iloilo provincial administrator Manuel Mejorada turned out to be nothing but baseless innuendos. The Senate blue ribbon committee has no more reason to continue its probe on the ICC which would be one of the main venues of next year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, he stressed. It was obvious that the alleged conspiracy among Senate President Franklin Drilon, Public Works and Highways secretary Rogelio Singson and Tourism secretary Ramon Jimenez purportedly to jack up the actual cost of the building was a conclusion made by Mejorada based on mere assumptions and faulty calculations, said Sarmiento. “The only basis of Mejorada was Wikipedia and flawed mathematical formula. It would be a real waste of time and money for the Senate to continue investigating this kind of an allegation,” he stressed. Sarmiento added that it is also wrong to draw a comparison between the allegations of corruption in ICC and the Makati Parking Building because unlike Mejorada’s claims, the allegations made by former Makati vice mayor Ernesto Mercado was supported not only by witnesses but also by documentary evidence and evaluation by engineering and architectural experts. Sarmiento also noted “the display of professionalism and integrity under intense scrutiny” by Secretary Singson and Secretary Jimenez, who were invited in the hearing along with Drilon. “Both Secretaries Singson and Jimenez explained every question that was asked from them by the senators in a manner that was respectable, enlightening and easily understood by the public. It is clear that these are reputable people and they have nothing to hide,” said Sarmiento.
