Sen. Risa Hontiveros wants Senate probe on P9.5-B loan for construction of SEA Games venues | via @_katrinadomingo

Sen. Pia Cayetano slams Sen. Risa Hontiveros' allegation that there were irregularities in the construction of SEA Games' venues in Tarlac: "I am embarrassed that we cannot even honor that. I am embarrassed that we choose to make a political issue out of a world class facility."

Cayetano: "Kaya tuloy wala nang mag-aabala na magpatayo ng matitino at kahanga-hangang infrastructure dito sa Pilipinas dahil magpatayo ka ng maganda, sasabihan kang may kalokohan ka. So paano? Puro bulok na lang tayo?" | via @_katrinadomingo

Cayetano: "Paano naging white elephant? Sana naman mag-ingat kayo sa mga paratang ninyo dahil yan na naman ang he-headlines. Hindi man lang natin bigyan ng konting parangal, konting respeto ang mga national athletes." | via @_katrinadomingo

Cayetano: "I have to stand up for BCDA, for all the architects, for all the engineers, for all the construction workers that worked overtime. Alam niyo bang 24/7 nagtrabaho yun para maka deliver tayo sa Southeast Asian Games?" | via @_katrinadomingo

Hontiveros tells Cayetano: "Maganda naman ang mga facilities. Nobody is arguing against that pero baka mas world-class pa kung binid out according to law... Maganda talaga yung facilities but should this be an excuse for cutting corners?" | via @_katrinadomingo

Cayetano tells Hontiveros: "I'm sure there's a logical reason... Hindi mag-aabala si Vince Dizon na mag-cut short ng corners para batikusin lang ng ganito. Ginawa niya yun para patayuan ng stadium na maipagmamalaki naman ng Pilipinas." | via @_katrinadomingo

Cayetano: "I sincerely regret na nagagamit ang floor natin para sirain ang napakagandang pangalan ng mga proyekto para bigyan ng kahalagahan ang ibang sektor ng ating bansa na normally, hindi napapansin." | via @_katrinadomingo

Hontiveros tells Cayetano: "We take the floor to take people to account. No more, no less." | via @_katrinadomingo

Hontiveros: "Was there enough time to do things by the book? Sigurado there would have been time kasi ayon sa timeline, August 16, 2017 pa lang ang BCDA unang tumanggap ng proposal for the construction... a full 2 years bago na-consumate itong proyekto." | via @_katrinadomingo

Hontiveros: "It is not our honorable athletes who have poured their heart out... who are in question here at all. I celebrate our athletes... Walang kinalaman ito sa mga atleta. Untarnished ang ginawa nila para sa ating bansa." | via @_katrinadomingo

Hontiveros: "Let us continue to support our athletes but also to honor them... Let us consider clearing all these questions of corruptions once and for all." | via @_katrinadomingo
