If Senate President Manny Villar is so sure about the legality, morality and beneficiality of the second P200 million allocated for the C-5 road extension project, then he should waste no time in seeking its immediate release. Then, let his critics try to stop the faster completion of the project through the courts. This issue of double entry and conflict of interest is certain to hound him until 2010 unless he acts decisively by asking the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to release the second P200 million for the project.
SP Villar has already been cleared of the “double entry” issue by the Senate Committee on Finance headed by Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. JPE, whom I consider the busiest senator in both committee and plenary works, said the addition of P200 million to the initial P200 million proposed by Malacañang for the C-5 road extension project, was done without any intent to profit financially from the double entry.
