He wants to be on his turf.
In an interview with ANC, Cavite Governor and Vice Presidential Spokesman for Political Concerns Jonvic Remulla said that Vice-President Jejomar Binay is not inclined to attend the ongoing Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee hearing on the alleged overpricing of a Makati building project simply because the inquiry “is not worthy of his office.”
Besides, as ABS-CBNnews.com reports, Binay has yet to receive an invitation from the Senate to attend the hearing.
Remulla explained that Binay saw the Senate as “a bully ring.” “They just ask you yes or no questions. They keep on pressing you for answers that you don’t want to give. The forum, the discourse, is not worthy of his office,” Remulla added.
The report noted: “Remulla said the vice-president is ready to answer all questions about the Makati City Hall Building 2 if the senators go to the Coconut Palace and talk.”
Remulla pointed out, “The Vice President ready. Let them go to the Coconut Palace and talk on equal terms.”
