Trying to make out the Binay phenomenon in Makati

IF I robbed you once, would you give me the opportunity to rob you one more time?

The question is raised because I happened to have been invited to the oath-taking of Makati City Mayor-elect Abby Binay at the Coconut Palace last Monday, and the occasion unraveled to me the fact that of the 20 elected officials of the city who would assume office beginning noon of June 30, only two are non-members of the successful Team Binay. Vice President Jejomar C. Binay sort of highlighted this fact when only six councilors for the Second District of Makati came forward to take their oath.
