SENATOR Antonio Trillanes 4th on Sunday said he sees no reason for the Senate blue ribbon committee to conduct further hearings on the allegedly overpriced Iloilo Convention Center (ICC) as it would only be a waste of resources and time of the Senate.

According to Trillanes, he will ask Sen. Teofisto Guingona 3rd, committee chairman, not to proceed with proceedings on the ICC until such time that Manuel Mejorada, the accuser of Senate President Franklin Drilon, could come up with evidence that could back his claims that the convention center is overpriced.
