MANILA — A video released by GMA News shows Vice President Jejomar ‘Jojo’ Binay in a heated conversation with a policeman Monday night (June 29) outside the Makati City Hall.<\/p>\n

The Vice President’s son, Mayor Jejomar Erwin ‘JunJun’ Binay Jr., refuses to leave the City Hall despite the second suspension order issued by the Office of the Ombudsman. A copy of the suspension order was posted on the building entrance by Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The video shows VP Binay (wearing a red cap) talking with one of the policemen barricading the City Hall, who was later identified as Senior Superintendent Elmer Jamias, the ground commander from\u00a0Southern Police District.<\/p>\n

The 35-second video shows Binay wagging and pointing his finger at Jamias saying, “Marahas ka sa tao<\/em>\u00a0(You’re\u00a0rough\u00a0with people).”<\/p>\n

“Sir, wala ho akong ginagawang ganong [karahasan] <\/em>(Sir, I didn’t do anything rude),” Jamias answered, his voice trailing off as he added that he’s been in the force for 34 years.<\/p>\n

“Ito ang sinasabi ko sa ‘yo… Lalabanan ka namin\u00a0<\/em>(I’m telling you… We will fight you),” Binay told Jamias.<\/p>\n

Jamias responded, “Mr. Vice President, nire-respesto ko ho kayo bilang vice president… Ang purpose lang ho natin dito [ay] panatilihin ang katahimikan dito sa lugar niyo. Wala nang iba<\/em>\u00a0(Mr. Vice President, I respect you as the vice president… Our only purpose here is to maintain the peace in your area. Nothing else).”<\/p>\n

“Bakit niyo\u00a0hinaharang? Ayaw niyong papasukin\u00a0<\/em>(Why are you blocking\u00a0[people]? You don’t want them to come in)” Binay asked Jamias, referring to his sister-in-law Aida Dizon who was reportedly shoved as she tried to enter the City Hall premises.<\/p>\n

Jamias responded that they are simply enforcing a checkpoint and not blocking the entrance.<\/p>\n
