TAGAYTAY CITY, Philippines\u2014In light of his sudden decision to back-out of a debate with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV originally scheduled for November 27, Vice President Jejomar\u00a0 Binay on Thursday personally apologized to the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP).<\/p>\n

Binay showed-up unexpectedly at the KBP\u2019s three-day conference in Taal Vista Hotel, during which he said: \u201cI hope I will not be treated as a gate-crasher. This is a formal apology to the members of KBP. I know you had prepared for this [debate], you had informed your members there would be such a thing,\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

The Vice President explained that hid decision to back out of the scheduled debated stemmed from a media interview on November 9. During the interview, he was asked by a reporter to to comment on Trillanes\u2019 supposed \u201cgetting a tutor\u201d in preparation for their debate.<\/p>\n

Binay said that \u201cIf that\u2019s the case, I\u2019d rather that it not push through. I always had that feeling that, you know, the opposite of what I will say will come out in the end,\u201d as he called\u00a0 Trillanes an \u201copportunist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Binay stopped by Tagayatay City during a visit to particular towns in Cavite City to inaugurate facilities of the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
