According to Reyes, experts informed him of the huge amounts of methane trapped beneath the former dumpsite.

[Title] => FVR: Miriam OK’d Smokey project
[Summary] => Former President Fidel Ramos turned the tables on his arch nemesis Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago yesterday, claiming she was among the officials who approved several major reclamation projects during the Aquino administration.
Ramos told a news conference that Santiago was a participant in at least three reclamation projects when she served as a board member of the Public Estates Authority (PEA) from 1988 to 1991.

[Title] => FVR: Miriam ‘bombshell’ a dud
[Summary] => The supposed bombshell of pro-administration Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago on the multibillion-peso Smokey Mountain project is a dud, former President Fidel Ramos said yesterday.
"Nakuryente si Miriam (Miriam got a bum steer), she was fed false information on this project," he said in an interview over radio station dzRH.
Ramos later hopped from one station to another to repeat the same assertion and explain his side on the controversy.
In a related development, Santiago asked the Senate yesterday to expand its planned Smokey Mountain inquiry to include all land reclamation projects in Manila Bay and other parts of the country.
"Following the Supreme Court ruling in the Public Estates Authority-Amari case, all these transactions are void, do not exist and produce no legal effects," she said.
Apart from that ruling, she said the Constitution is clear: "Private corporations or associations may not hold such alienable lands of the public domain, except by lease."

[Title] => Symbols
[Summary] => Smokey Mountain was the symbol of poverty in this country. Now, many years after the mountain of garbage in Tondo, Manila was leveled and replaced by a development project, it is still a symbol — of many things that are wrong with this country.
Politicians are fighting over it. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, as feisty as ever in her return to the Senate, has found a way to skewer Fidel Ramos, the man she accused of cheating her in the 1992 presidential race.

[Title] => Miriam tags FVR, Erap housing chiefs in Tondo scam
[Summary] => Pro-administration Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago linked the housing chiefs of former President Fidel Ramos and ousted President Joseph Estrada yesterday to what she described as the multibillion-peso Smokey Mountain land reclamation scam.
Continuing her exposé on the project, Santiago said Dionisio de la Serna and his successor, Robert Aventajado, pushed actively for the development of Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila, and the reclamation of land in nearby areas.
"They are the principal suspects with criminal liability in this scam, in addition to former President Ramos and Reghis Romero II," she said.
Malacañang cautioned the public yesterday against prejudging individuals implicated in the alleged irregularities in the Smokey Mountain development and reclamation project.
