Palace call on VP allies to quit posts ‘inquisition’

MalacaÑang’s call for the resignation of government officials identified with Vice President Jejomar Binay only showed that the Aquino administration is putting premium on political ties and loyalties rather than competency and professionalism.

Joey Salgado, Binay’s head of media affairs, on Sunday said in a statement that they are saddened by government’s continuous attacks that “underscore the Vice President’s call for governance that puts merit on performance, excellence, and professionalism.”
