Another believable confessee of dark truths of Binay. They say that more bombs are to come? Instead of not attending the Senate probe with him as the target of his fellow over-ambitious Trillanes and Cayetano, he should have gone there to unleash his bombs against the two also, pretending to be Skywalker, not Dark Vader as so many are calling him here in Facebook. +++++ Witness: I got ‘P200,000 allowance’ from ex-Mayor Jejomar Binay to rig bidding By Maila Ager |INQUIRER.net11:48 am | Thursday, September 4th, 2014 newsinfo.inquirer.net/635280/witness-i-got-p200000-allowance-from-ex-mayor-jejomar-binay-to-rig-bidding MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Jejomar Binay was linked anew by a new witness into the alleged anomalous Makati City Hall 2 parking building. Engineer Mario Hechanova, former head of the General Services Department of Makati City, claimed that he was receiving a monthly allowance of P200,000 from Binay when he was still mayor to rig the bidding of projects. “Ni isang singkong duling wala po akong kinita pero may natatanggap ako kay mayor na allowance buwan, buwan,” Hechanova said, responding to queries by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. (I did not get a single centavo but I have been geeting a monthly allowance from the mayor.) Asked by Trillanes if he was referring to Vice President Binay, the resource person answered “yes”. Trillanes then asked how much he was receiving from Binay, Hechanova said: ‘Halos P200,000.” (Almost P200,000) Asked again what the allowance was for, Hechanova said: “Siguro po gawin lang naming ang dapat naming gawin, which on my part ayusin ang mga bidding.” (Maybe we should do what we’re expected to do, which on my part, was to fix the bidding.) Trillanes clarified again if what he meant was to “rig” the bidding, Hechanova said “yes”. Before this, Hechanova told the committee that there was an “anomaly” in the bidding of the parking building project, which was first constructed when Binay was still the mayor in 2007. When Trillanes asked if there was an anomaly in the project, Hechanova said: “Meron po.” (There is.) The engineer said that before the project was bidded out, the city engineer, a certain Morales, called him to his office and told him: “Mario, gaya ng dati, alam mo na kung sino ang dapat manalo.” (Mario, like before, you should know who should win.) He said it was made clear to him that the project should be awarded to Hilmarc’s Construction Corporation. The contractor cornered the five-phase construction of the parking building, which was completed in 2013. Hechanova pointed out that the city engineer, who died in September, 2012, was considered an alter-ego of then Mayor Binay. The engineer also claimed that Binay had personally talked to him to follow up on the payments of cakes, which are being given to senior citizens in the city. “Minsan po pinatawag po nya (Binay) ako sa opisina nya. Sabi nya, ‘Mario ano bang nagayayari sa payment ng cake ni Nancy,” he said, referring to Senator Nancy Binay, daughter of the vice president. (One time, he called me into his office. He said, ‘Mario, what happened to the payment of Nancy’s cake?’”) It was not the first time, he said, that the Vice President had called him up to follow up on the payments for cakes. Hechanova said he suspected that the giveaway cake for senior citizens was the business of the senator.
