The Philippine Vice President said
that he would fight any move to impeach him, saying that he could only be
removed from office if he committed violations during his term as vice
president.
Vice President Binay said that talk
of impeaching him could be part of the “Operation Anybody But Binay” hatched
by his detractors in its apparent attempt to stop his presidential dream in 2016.
Binay specifically noted Justice
Secretary De Lima who claimed to receive request from Senate to investigate him
when he said to the blue ribbon subcommittee looking into Makati Hall parking
building has not even made any recommendation on the said issue.
“The only reason I can be removed from office
among others would be the violation of the Constitution during my term as Vice
President. Maliwanag naman po yata iyon,” Binay added.
The Representative of Caloocan Edgar Erice, member of administration’s Liberal Party, said that Vice President Binay
could be impeached for the betrayal of the
public trust for the alleged using public funds when he was the mayor of Makati
City to fund his vice presidential bid in 2010.
