Binay claimed that his political enemies want him jailed in order to prevent him from running in the 2016 Presidential Elections.<\/p>\n<p>They added that his enemies are also planning to link him to properties in the United States in order to discredit Binay further.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Vice President\u2019s spokesman Joey Salgado, they are expecting \u201cmore attacks\u201d not only against Binay but his family as well. He added that his enemies are serious on sending him behind bars before the 2016 elections happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will do these things to prevent him from running in 2016,\u201d said Salgado referring to the motives of Binay\u2019s detractors.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate interview, Binay said that allegations against him are \u201cbaseless and politically motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a conspiracy to prevent me from being elected as the president of our country,\u201d said Binay. \u201cThe government is now really being used against us. We are being investigated by the NBI, the Ombudsman, and the AMLC,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Binay admitted that he is also expecting more allegations about properties in the United States which he did not even know about.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that ex-Makati vice mayor Ernesto Mercado talked to their friends to persuade them into witnessing against him. Mercado even \u201ctook photos of some properties in the US, and will make it appear that the Vice President is the owner.\u201d To which Binay replied that Mercado is really the owner.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Binay expressed his disappointment over the subcommittee investigation of the Senate Blue Ribbon. He said that the agency that was \u201csupposed to be in aid of legislation, has already strayed from the original intent of the resolution that started it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis, basically, is a perception game. Definitely, there is no end game, in so far as the law is concerned. And what is the end game?
