CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Vice President Jejomar Binay offered to sit beside his opponents Mar Roxas and Rodrigo Duterte at the holding room before the start of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) presidential debates here.
Binay was the first to take a seat at the holding room when he was met by Roxas.
Binay and Roxas shook hands. But Roxas sat at the other end of the room away from Binay.
It was only when Duterte arrived when Binay offered to sit beside them. Duterte sat beside Roxas.
“Tabi-tabi naman tayo,” Binay said.
Binay talked mostly with Duterte, but he shook hands with Roxas.
Roxas, Binay and Duterte have left the holding room when Sen. Grace Poe arrived.
She took note of the cameras taking shots of her.
“I just want this to get over with,” Poe said.
Sen. Miriam Santiago was the last to arrive but she proceeded to the stage.
