Mayor Jejomar Binay of Makati City who was subject of a 60-day preventive suspension the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) served last week expressed on Fridayhope that the victory he gained on first round at the Court of Appeals (CA) would be for good.
THe mayor, reiterating his claim that the charges against him and 17 other Makati officials of maintaining "ghost" or non-existent employees in their governemnt offices, were mere fabrication. Binay whose city is the Philippines' financial capital is a vocal critic of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The CA has issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the suspension. It ordered Binay to post a bond of P200,000.
THe Court also ordered Executive Sec. Eduardo Ermita and the DILG to file comments within 10 days in connection with BInay's petition that quuestioned the preventive suspension imposed on him and fellow officials.
