MANILA \u2013 Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin \u201cJunjun\u201d Binay received his second suspension order on Tuesday in connection with corruption allegations against him and his family. Makati Vice Mayor Romulo \u201cKid\u201d Pe\u00f1a, for his part, took an oath anew as the acting Makati City mayor.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a was then mandated as the acting mayor for the second time in about four months. Binay received his first suspension order in March but was able to secure a temporary restraining order in April, stopping the preventive suspension.<\/p>\n

During Binay\u2019s former suspension, his supporters rallied against the police. Pe\u00f1a, however, asked Binay to listen to the \u2018will of the people\u2019 and asked his supporters not to cause any trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cSundin po sana natin ang kagustuhan ng taumbayan (I hope that we yield to the will of the people),\u201d Pe\u00f1a earlier said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPasensya na po kayo, sana po ang iba sa inyo ay magsi-uwian na, lalong lalo na po \u2018yung mga hindi taga Makati na wala naman pong kinalaman dito\u2026 Maraming salamat po sa pagpunta at kung maari \u2018wag po tayong magsimula ng kaguluhan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

(I apologize. I hope some of you would go home already, especially those who are not residents of Makati and have no relations here… Thank you for coming and if possible, let us not cause any trouble.)<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a\u2019s supporters, on the other hand, also rallied and carried placards with words \u2018We support Mayor Kid Pe\u00f1a\u2019 and \u2018Pagbabago sa Makati, Ngayon Na!\u2019 (Change in Makati, Begins Now!)<\/p>\n

On Binay\u2019s suspension anew, the defiant mayor still refused to acknowledge the order and remained in his office. His supporters also protested violently, pushing police barricades and even throwing monobloc chairs at them. According to a GMA News report, five civilians and three policemen were hurt from the protest.<\/p>\n

Binay\u2019s camp has again started considering legal actions to counter the suspension order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
