“My father will not stoop down to his level,”
this was the statement said by Senator Binay to Senator Trillanes IV Wednesday.
She issued the declaration as the
senator thumbed down Senator Trillanes’ proposal to the Vice President Binay that
he should face Senate investigation in relation to the alleged “overpriced”
building in Makati.
It was Senator Trillanes who
filed resolution asking Senate to look after the issue involving Makati Mayor
Jun-jun Binay and Vice President Binay “Father and Son tandem”.
But Senator Nancy Binay said that
there was no need to invite Vice President Binay since her brother already
answered the said allegations.
“Hindi na ho mayor ng Makati ang
aking ama. Hindi n’ya ho ka-level si Senator Trillanes. He’s the Vice President
of the Philippines. My father will not stoop down to his level,” Senator
Binay said in an an interview.
The senator noted how Senator Trillanes
treated previous resource persons to a congressional investigation, citing Defense
Secretary Angelo Reyes as example.
“My father has to also protect the
dignity of his office. Ang hamon ko nga ho ay ang tamang proseso is the
impeachment court kasi may courtesy nga hong binibigay sa President pati na rin
sa Vice President,” she said.
Senator Binay said she was
serious when she dared Trillanes Tuesday to just file an impeachment complaint
against the Vice President.
“Sabi ko nga magpakalalaki at magpakatotoo si Senator Trillanes kasi
‘yung ginawa n’yang resolution, hindi sya in aid of legislation, it’s a
demolition job against my father,” she said.
The Senator noticed that Trillanes’
resolution was full of corruption allegations, which she said this should be
addressed in an impeachment proceeding since Vice President is an impeachable
officer.
“Alam n’yo ho ang aking ama, hindi ho s’ya mayor ng Makati, Vice President
of the Philippines na ho sya. Tamang proseso ho kung may allegations ng graft
and corruption is to file an impeachment complaint against the Vice President,”
Senator Binay stressed.
