MANILA, Philippines – Senator Frankling Drilon asks former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza some clarificatory questions to establish whether or not Atienza and city government properly checked the authority of Mrs. Corona and the state of BGEI.

Drilon to Atienza: You agree that you are expected to exercise extraordinary diligence, in this case it involves P34.7 Million?
