2 mayors hold separate flag-raising ceremonies

The standoff for Makati City’s leadership continued as two mayors, who both asserted legitimacy, held separate flag-raising ceremonies on Monday.

Backed by his supporters, Mayor Jejomar Erwin “Junjun” Binay Jr., who was suspended for six months by the Office of the Ombudsman, held the flag-raising ceremony at the City Hall quadrangle. He was joined by sister Sen. Nancy Binay, members of the City Council, department heads and barangay captains.
