MANILA, Philippines —The Senate blue ribbon subcommittee resumed on Tuesday its investigation into the allegedly overpriced Makati City Hall 2 parking building involving Vice President Jejomar Binay.

The hearing by the subcommittee being headed by Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III has expanded to other issues like the alleged overpricing of the Makati Science High School building.

Last Saturday, the subcommittee conducted an ocular inspection of the Makati Science High School Building, which allegedly costs P1.3 billion.

At the start of the hearing, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV reported the results of the inspection.
