Lawmaker defends Mayor Binay in Dasmariñas incident

A congressman on Friday said the security guards of Dasmariñas Village in Makati City were disrespectful to Mayor Jejomar “Junjun” Binay when they refused him entry into the exclusive village.

In a statement, Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian of Valenzuela City, a stalwart of the National People’s Coalition, said the stance taken by the security guards of Dasmariñas was uncalled for since the village is not “an independent state.”
