Vice President Jejomar Binay on Sunday denied that he planned to use the advertisements of the Home Development Mutual Fund, better known as the PAGIBIG Fund, for media mileage, “24 Oras” reported.
Senator Alan Peter Cayetano had accused the Vice President of planning to use the PAGIBIG advertisements for political gain in the upcoming 2016 general elections.
Also, Senator Antonio Trillanes accused Binay of awarding PAGIBIG mass housing projects to favored contractors.
Binay is the chairman of the PAGIBIG Fund.
“Alam naman nila na nagsisinungaling lang sila. Ako pa nga ang nagsasabi roon sa PAGIBIG, huwag ninyong ilalabas ang mukha ko,” Binay said.
These new allegations against Binay may be discussed in upcoming Senate blue ribbon committee hearings.
