Makati Mayor Junjun Binay today
(July 1, 2015) stepped down from office but only temporarily to await the
decision of the Court of Appeals (CA) on the assailed suspension order of the
Ombudsman against him.
The CA had invalidated the first
suspension order of the Ombudsman against the son of Vice President Jejomar
“Jojo” Binay. Binay is seeking a similar temporary restraining order (TRO) or
preliminary injunction against the second suspension order.
The second suspension order was in
relation to the alleged overpriced construction of the Makati City Science High
School Building while the first was over the alleged overpricing of the Makati
City Hall Building 2.
Binay said he was temporarily
leaving his office to stop his supporters from getting hurt like what happened
yesterday when the police and officials of the DILG tried to serve him the
Ombudsman’s suspension order.
“Kahit labag sa aking kalooban, ako
po ay pansamantalang lilisan
sa ating city hall," Binay said in a televised press conference. - End-
