MANILA — Makati Representative Mar-len Abigail Binay, daughter of Vice President Jejomar Binay, said that Senator Antonio Trillanes IV is leading the smear campaign against Vice President Jejomar Binay because he is “desperate” to be the running mate \u00a0Interior Secretary Manuel \u201cMar\u201d Roxas in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Trillanes has been desperately trying to sell himself to voters and more importantly, to Roxas. This is why the senator has been leading the charge against the Vice President, who remains the biggest obstruction to Roxas\u2019 own aspiration to become president,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Trillanes has thrown all standards of objectivity and fairness out the window in his bid to destroy the Vice President and everybody else that gets in his (Trillanes\u2019) way,\u201d she\u00a0added.<\/p>\n

Trillanes had recently accused Binay of paying off several Court of Appeals justices in the issuance of a\u00a0temporary restraining order (TRO) on the Ombudsman\u2019s suspension order against Vice President Binay\u2019s son, Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin \u201cJunjun\u201d Binay.<\/p>\n

Binay aid that Trillanes should face contempt for creating aaccusations against the appellate justices.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Trillanes clearly risks facing contempt charges. Since he has already confessed that he has no evidence to support his reckless allegation, other than purported \u2018raw intelligence reports\u2019, or hearsay, then the right thing for him to do is promptly say sorry to the court,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also said that Trillanes, who is an “embarrassment” to the Senate, should resign from his post.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter yet, the senator should resign his seat. Frankly, he is a big embarrassment to the Senate,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
