MANILA, Philippines – Elenita Binay, the wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay, arrived at the Sandiganbayan on Thursday for the arraignment of her graft and malversation charges for the allegedly anomalous purchase of over P45-million worth of medical supplies and equipment when she was still the mayor of Makati City.
Makati Representative Mar-len Abigail Binay arrived at the court to accompany her mother during the arraignment.
