- The camp of Rodrigo Duterte blasted the Vice President for still keeping mum on corruption allegations
- Mayor’s spokesman calls Binay a liar, says he’s insulting the intelligence of Filipinos
- He urges him to bare all, answer graft raps once and for all
MANILA, Philippines – Amid a Commission on Audit (COA) report finding Vice President Jejomar Binay liable for anomalies in the allegedly graft-ridden P2.8-billion Makati City Hall Building II, the camp of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte urged the former to finally stop lying and insulting the intelligence of Filipinos.
“Based on the COA report and recommendation, we can say that the Vice President is lying between his teeth, insulting the intelligence of the Filipino people,” the Philippine Daily Inquirer quoted Duterte spokesman Peter Laviña as saying. “Now is the perfect time for him to bare all and tell the Filipinos how he and his family were able to accumulate such a scandalous wealth. By all means, he should do it now.”
The COA report recommended sanctions against Binay for ‘gross misconduct, dishonesty, and gross inexcusable negligence, graft and corrupt practices’ in connection with the parking building constructed during his term as Makati mayor.
According to Laviña, Binay is morally obligated to tell everything since he has been outed by the COA report anyway. He also urged Filipinos not to be fooled by the Vice President’s promises that he will tell his side in the proper forum.
“With the COA report saying Binay is liable for graft and corruption, the vice president is morally bound to bare all,” he said. “As a people tired of lies and corruption, we should not allow ourselves to be taken into this kind of ride that will, in the end, bring us to a tragic end. We have had enough of corruption that has brought poverty into the people — the time is calling for us to change.”
