THE camp of Vice President Jejomar Binay on Thursday described as baseless the allegations of former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado that Binay received kickbacks when he was the mayor of Makati City.

“Like the former general services head Mario Hechanova, Mercado conveniently used the name of a dead person to make malicious and baseless allegations against the Vice President and his family. They should stop using the name of a dead person, in the process hurting his family who are still grieving from his death a year ago,” Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla, Binay’s spokesperson for political affairs, said in a statement.
