                    [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."
