The Ombudsman has placed Binay and other city officials under preventive suspension as they face investigation for graft in connection with the allegedly overpriced Makati Parking Building II.
In a statement, the camp of Binay said the mayor would face his suspension order.
Mayor Binay is expected to hold a press briefing later in the afternoon at the Makati City Hall.
