The camp of the Vice President is
unfazed by report that the official of Catholic Bishops Conference of Philippines
does not want VP Binay to become country’s president.
Lawyer JV Bautista the United
Nationalist Alliance interim secretary general, said that VP Binay camp
continues to respect the leaders of Catholic Church when it comes to the spiritual
matters.
However, the law must be followed
when it comes to the leadership succession issue and Vice President must take
over if anything had happen to the incumbent President.
The executive secretary of CBCP
National Secretariat for the Social Action Fr. Edu Gariguez said that he does
not want the incumbent leader (President Aquino) to resign because VP Binay
would be a worse leader if that happens.
"I don't want to call for Aquino’s
resignation because Binay will replace him. And that’s even worse, it’s scary,"
the CBCP secretariat said.
Fr. Gariguez's statement came out
after VP Binay met CBCP leaders regarding all the allegations that he currently
ignore that he benefited in the overpricing of Php2.2 billion City Building II
in Makati.
In PDI report, Fr. Gariguez said that
Binay's explanations to CBCP on various corruption allegations against him were
all "unconvincing."
He believed that VPBinay as the President
would be a combination of former President Joseph Estrada administration and the
former First Lady Imelda Marcos "with houses as big as a palace."
Fr. Gariguez clarified that is
his personal opinion and not an official stand of CBCP.
wow.
