MANILA, Philippines — Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said new evidence would be presented at the Senate on Thursday to “erase doubts” about Vice President Jejomar Binay’s ownership of the controversial Sunchamp Agri-Tourism Park in Rosario Town, in Batangas.
“We will present new evidence to erase doubts that VP Binay owns the hacienda in Rosario, Batangas,” Trillanes said in a text message ahead of the 9 a.m. resumption of the Senate blue ribbon subcommittee’s investigation into the allegedly overpriced Makati City Hall 2 parking building.
The investigation has expanded to other alleged irregularities committed when Binay was still the city mayor.
“As of yesterday, Mr. Tiu has yet to submit documents to support his claim of ownership of Hacienda Binay,” Trillanes said, referring to Antonio Tiu, who identified himself as the owner of the property.
Tiu, president of Greenergy Holdings Inc. that bought the majority shares of the Sunchamp Real Estate Development Corp. operating the Sunchamp Agri-Tourism Park, faced the subcommittee last October 22 but failed to produce documents to prove his ownership of the property.
The subcommittee then directed Tiu to return to the committee and submit the necessary documents.
