Makati 2nd District Rep. Mar-Len Abigail Binay, daughter of Vice-President Jejomar Binay, on Mon, May 18, confirmed that she cannot forgive Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV for what he has done to her family.
Speaking to ANC’s Headstart, Binay said Trillanes’ attacks are not born out of a sense of duty but personal ambition. She noted that Trillanes has already announced that he wants to run for vice-president in the next election.
“I was talking personally. Ako, hindi ko siya mapapatawad (I could never forgive him). It is already a personal vendetta. Para siyang kontrabida sa pelikula sa buhay namin (He’s like a villain a movie in our life),” she said.
She added, “There is that line na sinasabi mo ‘O trabaho lang ito, walang personalan (It’s just business, nothing personal).’ He has crossed that line a long time ago.”
Binay said Trillanes’ anger is palpable in the way he talks about her family.
Trillanes is one of the senators leading a Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee investigation on alleged irregularities committed by Vice-President Jejomar Binay while he was still mayor of Makati.
He earlier criticized Binay for backing out of a debate when he was the one who openly challenged the senator.
The senator said Binay failed to keep his word to support mutineers who holed up at the Manila Peninsula in 2007. Asked if the Peninsula issue is a possible source of the senator’s anger, the congresswoman said: “Yung lang? Para siyang na-basted (Is it just that? He’s like a suitor who got rejected).” (ANC)
