BINAY CASE
DISCLAIMER: These answers are based on the assumption that if Vice President Jejomar Binay will lose his presidential bid this
coming May 2016 National Elections. Due to his position as an impeachable officer, he cannot be tried nor prosecuted for such
crimes yet due to immunity from suit. However, if he does fail to become president, the circumstances would justify our
assumption thus, he may be held liable and may be prosecuted for his offenses.
These observations are also rooted from the Senate hearings that have transpired since July 2014 regarding the overpriced multibillion peso new Makati city parking building contract. We interrelated the rights of the accused to those proceedings though not in
a judicial setting.
Needless to say, there have not been any formal judicial proceedings against Vice President Binay due to his immunity as Vice
President of the Philippines.
