Binay camp preparing to question arrest order vs. Junjun Binay
Navotas Representative Toby Tiangco said the opposition supported Makati Mayor Junjun Binay's decision to surrender to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee but added that the Binay camp was also studying legal remedies to nullify the arrest order.
Tiangco, the interim president of the opposition United Nationalist Alliance and a spokesperson for its leader Vice President Jejomar Binay, said the mayor's father remained firm in his decision to shun the Blue Ribbon subcommittee hearings on the allegedly overpriced Makati City Hall Building II.
Tiangco, the interim president of the opposition United Nationalist Alliance and a spokesperson for its leader Vice President Jejomar Binay, said the mayor's father remained firm in his decision to shun the Blue Ribbon subcommittee hearings on the allegedly overpriced Makati City Hall Building II.
“This is a violation of his human right. Nagcomply na siya dati, nakita niyo naman kung ano ang ginawa sakanya ng ilang senador. At bakit yung mga resource person na kaalayado ng mga senador na ito, napatunayan na na nagsisinungaling bakit hindi nila i-cite for contempt?” Tiangco told GMA News Online.
Tiangco also questioned the validity of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee order pointing out that it was decided by only the three senators who, Tiangco alleged, “was just after destroying the reputation of the Binays for political reasons.”
“E, bakit tatlong senador lang ang nagdesisyon na i-cite sila for contempt? Hindi man lang pinagbotohan ang decision na ito. So, definitely, we will be filing legal remedies,” Tiangco said. He, however, refused to elaborate on their possible legal strategy.
Tiangco said they also support Mayor Binay's statement that he will surrender to the Senate authorities but will still not attend the Blue Ribbon Subcommittee probe.
“Kita naman natin kung gano ka bias yung hearing. So, tama lang yung sinabi niya na yun. Pwedeng i-man carry siya papuntang session hall, pero hindi parin siya maco-compel na magsalita,” Tiangco said.
Nancy Binay's concern
Teary-eyed Senator Nancy Binay expressed concern Monday on what would happen to the four children of her brother Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr once he is detained at the Senate after being cited in contempt for continued refusal to attend hearings.
“Ako ngayon pagtutuunan ko muna ng panahon yung mga anak ng kapatid ko kasi alam nyo naman di ba.... Naiyak bigla ako.… Alam nyo naman kasi na wala nang mommy yung mga pamangkin ko tapos ngayon mawawala pa yung father nila,” she told reporters when asked on their plans after the Senate ordered the detention of her brother.
Mayor Binay’ s wife, Kennely Ann, died in 2009, hours after prematurely giving birth. Their youngest is five years old while the eldest is 12.
“I think yun ang pinakamahirap, pinakamasakit sa akin kasi andaming hindi dapat madamay pero dahil sa personal ambition ng ibang tao, wala na silang pakialam kung sino ang masugatan, o masaktan basta maluklok sila sa 2016,” the senator said.
“Yun ang pinakamasakit kasi ngayong gabi matutulog yung pamangkin ko na hindi kasama yung ama nila. Nawalan na nga sila ng ina, parang dalawang beses nilang mararamdaman yung mawalan ng magulang,” she added.
Asked if she would let his brother sleep at her office at the Senate since the detention cell at the Senate sergeant-at-arms only has one bed, Binay said she does not think her brother would approve that.
“Tignan natin kasi knowing my brother, I doubt kung gusto nya na mabigyan siya ng special treatment. Kung doon siya dapat idetain e doon siya magpapadetain,” she said.
She said they will have to discuss if they would allow the children visit their father at the detention cell.
“Mas gusto kong pagtuunan kung paano ayusin yung schedule ng mga bata kasi gusto ba namin na makita siya ng mga anak niya na nasa ganung sitwasyon pero, on the other hand, pangit din naman na hindi nila makita yung father nila,” she said.
The Blue Ribbon Committee cited for contempt Binay and five other personalities who continuously defied the order of the Blue Ribbon subcommittee to attend the probe on alleged overpriced Makati City Hall Building II.
In a press conference, Binay said he was ready to be detained.
