MANILA, Philippines – “Magwawala ang taong bayan (People will be up in arms).”
Christian Manaligod, a supporter of suspended Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin “Junjun” Binay, issued this warning as he joined hundreds of supporters who trooped to the city hall for a vigil.
He said Binay’s suspension was unfair citing that the allegations heaped on him were politically motivated.
He said the Binays served well their constituents, which paved the way for the development of Makati.
“Lahat po ng paraan para guminhawa ang mga mamamayan ng Makati ay ginawa po nila,” Manaligod said.
Manaligod said the allegations against the Binays were meant to discredit Vice President Jejomar Binay and derail his 2016 presidential plans.
On Wednesday evening, supporters started massing up at the Makati City Hall for a vigil as they await the suspension order to be served on Junjun Binay.
“Tuloy-tuloy na to hanggang matapos ang laban,” Manaligod said.
