Cayetano-Binay, reconciliation talks eyed

By Nidz Godino

“While these are matters of public interest, it is better if we sit down and talk about it behind closed doors,” Senate majority leader Francis Tolentino said  ethics committee  he heads will first sit down with Senators Nancy Binay and Alan Peter Cayetano and try to reconcile  two following Binay’s ethics complaint against Cayetano.

At  press briefing, Tolentino said  ethics committee will determine if  complaint filed by Binay against Cayetano is sufficient in form and substance.

But his committee will have to meet to organize its members and sit down with  two quarreling political rivals when hot heads have cooled.

Tolentino  agreed with Senate President Francis Escudero, who said  two should calm down and be reconciled.

He said their issues about  New Senate Building, became personal attacks against each other, should be discussed in private instead of in  public hearing.

Binay slapped Cayetano with  ethics complaint after  male senator called her  crazy female rumormonger (“Marites”) for allegedly backstabbing him for his wrong figures about  ballooning cost of construction.

Cayetano stood by his disparaging remarks and said Binay was diverting from  real issue at hand in her ethics complaint.

Cayetano’s accounts committee will hold its second hearing today on cost of  construction pegged at over P23 billion.
