Our question though is: Why didn’t he address any of the allegations against him?
At a little past 4:30pm Wednesday, VP Binay held a press conference at the Coconut Palace, where he delivered a speech that seems directed to the administration.
From the very beginning, members of the press were advised that no questions will be entertained. And true enough: As soon as he finished his short speech, delivered in Filipino, he quickly turned around and left the podium.
Essentially, he described the Aquino administration as unfeeling and a failure.
He said he quit his cabinet post because he can’t allow a few things. He said he wishes for an administration that listened to the people, and felt for them. One that had an effective health care and education, blah blah blah… The opposite of what we currently have: one that was ‘makatao,’ ‘may malasakit,’ ‘hindi manhid.’ His words, not ours.
Somehow, it all sounds like a promise we’d hear during campaign time, but okay, it’s his press conference, not ours.
For the first time, Binay acknowledged that ‘they’ are ganging up on him his family because according to him, he’s the number one road block to their own political aspiration. As to who exactly ‘they’ are, he didn’t say.
He then asks in Filipino: ‘Why won’t they face me in a clean and honest elections?’
Yes, he acknowledged he’s not backing down from the elections.
After which so many questions hit our head: Why isn’t he addressing the issues he and his family are currently facing? Why aren’t we allowed to ask questions?! Is the Veep afraid of something? Can anyone psychoanalyze this?
