MANILA \u2013 Vice President Jejomar Binay\u2019s camp denied allegations that he will back out of a debate with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.<\/p>\n

Asked if the said debate will push through, Binay\u2019s spokesman and Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla replied to the Philippines Star through a text message saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is being discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trillanes also accepted the challenge though he said that Binay\u2019s camp may not push through with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m waiting for the time that they will try to wiggle their way out of this. They will try to find a reason why this has to be cancelled,\u201d Trillanes said in an interview with ANC yesterday.<\/p>\n

Trillanes also added that the debate may be in favor of Binay as the vice president, he said, is a \u201cmaster of argumentation and debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remulla, however slammed Binay and said that the vice president is more proactive than a talker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vice President has always been proactive (rather) than a talker. He has always been soft spoken and never been confrontational. The warrior in Trillanes has the distinct advantage in that respect,\u201d Remulla said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Trillanes was elected on the romantic notion that he is for change, reform and hope for the country. In the seven years in the Senate this is the first time he will undergo scrutiny. It\u2019s easy to bark and bite. Can he back up his bravado sans the shouting?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
