Binay camp ridicules Trillanes: Delusional

SEN. ANTONIO Trillanes IV is “entitled to his delusions.”

Vice President Jejomar Binay’s political spokesperson, Rico Quicho, on Sunday made the remark as he derided Trillanes’ bid for the vice-presidency in 2016.

“He has built his career out of attempting and failing to destroy institutions and reputations. That is his claim to infamy. Now he wants to bully his way to the vice-presidency,” Quicho said of Trillanes.

There is no love lost between Trillanes and Binay, as the senator has been coming up with exposés in the Senate against the Vice President whom he charged with involvement in corrupt activities when he was mayor of Makati for over two decades.

The other day, Trillanes formally declared his vice presidential bid, as he expressed his group Magdalo’s support for the presidential candidacy of Sen. Grace Poe.

In a statement, Quicho ridiculed the survey numbers of Trillanes, whom he called “Senator 1-percent,” because of the latter’s four-percent score last year that had gone down to one percent in recent surveys.

“Senator 1-percent can pontificate all he wants but he cannot fool the people,” Quicho said, adding that Trillanes’ “hypocrisy had been exposed in the media.”

Quicho recalled the role Trillanes, then a Philippine Navy officer and member of the renegade Magdalo group, played in the 2007 siege of the Peninsula Manila aimed at ousting President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Quicho questioned the values Trillanes would impart to the people.
