MANILA \u2013 Senior Superintendent Elmer Jamias claimed that Vice President Jejomar \u201cJojo\u201d Binay mocked him as the head police officer in charge during the serving of Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin \u201cJunjun\u201d Binay\u2019s second suspension order.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was face to face with a Vice President who supported the police, but it was the opposite. He mocked my being a policeman,\u201d Jamias said in a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saluted him but he didn\u2019t return it right away. He jabbed at my nameplate and told me that my only mission was to remove him and [his] supporters from City Hall,\u201d Jamias added, mentioning that the Vice President also accused him of harassing his son and their supporters.<\/p>\n

Aside from Jamias, Chief Inspector Gideon Ines also claimed that Vice President Binay used force on him by grabbing his collar and his bodyguards hitting his chest. He was later on pushed some \u201920 meters from the front line.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, a commotion broke out\u2026 [Vice President Binay] also threatened to remove us from the service,\u201d Ines recalled.<\/p>\n

The Philippine National Police (PNP) will then file charges of oral defamation and assault on persons in authority against Vice President Binay and his security personnel for getting physical with the police force on Tuesday\u2019s scuffle at the Makati City Hall premises.<\/p>\n

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) then formed a team to investigate on the alleged brawl. They were set to gather evidences and ask television networks for copies of footages of the scuffle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will provide anything that would be needed by our men in pursuit of their grievances, including the services of lawyers,\u201d Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina said.<\/p>\n

The tension between the Binay\u2019s supporters and the policemen began when the latter tried to enforce the Office of the Ombudsman\u2019s preventive suspension order on Mayor Binay.<\/p>\n

The supporters, however, tried to stop the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) officers from serving the suspension order. They then pushed police barricades and threw bottled waters and monobloc chairs at the policemen.<\/p>\n

Mayor Binay\u2019s six-month preventive suspension order was issued while investigations on corruption allegations against him and his family were still ongoing.<\/p>\n

The mayor, however, refused to acknowledge the suspension order and remained in his office.<\/p>\n

Vice President Binay\u2019s camp, on the other hand, denied accusations of the police force saying, there was \u2018no truth that the security personnel hurt some police officers during the incident\u2019 as they \u2018acted with restraint and focused their efforts to ensure the safety of the Vice President.\u2019<\/p>\n

According to reports, several people were injured in the fracas including five civilians and three policemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
