Binay unchained: Will PNoy’s enforcers now lock him up?

A DAY after his resignation, Mr. Binay did not go to his Batangas farm to relax and smell his flowers. He urgently reassumed the persona he took during the many coups against Mrs. Aquino in the late 80s – that of a raging Rambotito, a fighting man. If he swore to fight to the death to prevent coup plotters from seizing state power from Cory Aquino then, this time it was different.

Now, he is up against the administration of Mrs. Aquino’s son, the incumbent president He called Mr. Aquino’s administration an administration of bunglers and cynical people, largely insensitive to the plight of the common man. Mr. Binay let loose just after his resignation from the Aquino cabinet these words: I will start the fight for the common man and against poverty. I am not afraid of you (the generic Aquino people) and nobody can stop me.
