Dismissal of Jun-Jun Binay sought

The Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) was asked yesterday to dismiss from office Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Jun-Jun Binay and 20 councilors charged earlier with plunder and graft in connection with the alleged overpriced construction of the Makati Parking Building.

A group mostly young Makati residents belonging to the United Makati Against Corruption (UMAC) trooped to the OMB headquarters in Quezon City City to file the 15-page consolidated reply-complaint.

It said the evidence submitted earlier against the respondents was strong that warrant their immediate ouster from the service.

UMAC spokesman Jhasper Cuayzon said lawyer Renato Bondal and Nicolas Enciso, convenors of the group, were supposed to file the reply affidavit but could make it for security reasons.

The consolidated affidavit also asked the OMB to include in the plunder and graft charges 10 key officials of the Hillmarcs Construction Corporation which put up the controversial 11-storey office-parking building.

They were identified as Efren Canlas, Damian Ramos, Trinitas Canlas, Susan Ramos, Shiela Dayrit, Edoyuard Canlas, Juan Canlas, Christima Elisse Canlas, Hak Jin Kim and Roberto Henson. (Jun Ramirez)
