“Unang-una walang kredibilidad si VP Binay mamuna ng kahit anong pagkukulang nitong administrasyon na ito,” Trillanes said in an interview.
(Firs of all, VP Binay has no credibility to criticize any of the shortcomings of this administration.)
“While I admit may mga kakulangan itong administration na ito but hindi dapat si VP Binay ang mamumuna dahil wala syang kredibilidad at sandamakmak yung kaso nya ng pangungurakot,” he said.
(While I admit that this administration has shortcomings, it should not be VP Binay who should criticize it because he has no credibility and he has been facing corruption cases.)
It was Trillanes who initiated the Senate investigation into the corruption allegations being hurled at Binay.
“Wala akong nakikitang reason para paniwalaan sya ngayon kasi he lost it (I see no reason why we should believe him now because he lost it). Wrong messenger. Right message for some, wrong messenger for all,” the senator added.
Meanwhile, Senate President Franklin Drilon chose to shrug off Binay’s accusations against the Aquino administration.
“That is expected, this is already the political season,” Drilon said when sought for comment.
Pressed further, the Senate leader simply said: “ That is expected of an opposition leader.”
