MANILA, Philippines — The Senate blue ribbon subcommittee  resumed on Thursday its investigation into the allegedly overpriced Makati City Hall 2 parking  building.

The investigation though has expanded to  other  issues, including  a property in Batangas province  that Vice  President  Jejomar Binay  allegedly owned.

Senator  Antonio Trillanes IV,  in a text message before the start of the hearing,   said   they would present  new evidence “to erase doubts” that  Binay  was the real owner of the  Batangas property.

The  Vice  President  has  repeatedly denied ownership of the  property but also repeatedly turned down the subcommittee’s invitation to face and  answer all allegations  being hurled  at him.
