SENATOR Nancy Binay has expressed sympathy for Senator Leila de Lima, saying some of the personal attacks against her were “below the belt.”

“Syempre sympathetic and sana yung pinagdaanan namin hindi na pagdaanan ng ibang tao, including her,” Binay told reporters.

Her father, former Vice President Jejomar Binay, had been accused of alleged misused of public funds when he was still the mayor of Makati City, including the purported overpricing of the Makati City Hall 2 parking building.
