The Office of the Ombudsman’s order to dismiss suspended Makati Mayor Junjun Binay for the alleged overpricing of Makati Parking Building signals the end of the “Binay dynasty,” Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said Friday.

“The fight was long, difficult and bitter but, in the end, truth and justice prevailed,” Trillanes, who initiated the Senate probe on the parking controversy, said in a text message.

“The Ombudsman’s order signals the end of the Binay dynasty. I only hope it would lead to a new era of good governance in Makati,” he added.

The Makati government has long been run by the Binay family.

Both parents of the suspended mayor–Vice President Jejomar Binay and Dra. Elenita Binay–were former mayors of the city. KS
