TENSION grips Makati city, tagged as the Philippines' financial capital, as a ranking official of the Department of Interior and Local Government, tries to serve a suspension order against Mayor Jejomar Binay and other local officials over charges of hiring ghost employees.
Binay is now at the city hall while a large number of supporters appears to be in a position to defend him from what they call "a political harrasment." Binay is a vocal critic of the administration of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The DILG, however, insisted the order was lawful.
