SINABI kahapon ng Palasyo na patama kay Vice President Jejomar Binay ang naging pahayag ni Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales matapos niyang sabihin na napakarami pa rin na nasa gobyerno ang sangkot sa korupsyon.
Idinagdag ni Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda na bagamat hindi pinangalanan, sapol si Binay sa naging pahayag ni Morales.
“The statement of Ombudsman Morales clearly points out to the elimination of VP Binay as someone who will not stand up to the bar of integrity, based on his numerous refusal to explain the allegations of corruption against him,” sabi ni Lacierda.
Sinabi ni Morales na napakarami pa ring mga tiwali ang nakaupo sa gobyerno, base na rin sa libo-libong mga kaso ng graft at iba pang kaso na inihain sa Ombudsman.
“Furthermore, there was clearly a misrepresentation on his ad of the mountain of documents which turned out to be allegations of corruption and not his answer to the charges levelled against him, as stated by Sen. (Antonio)Trilllanes (IV). When a candidate does not regard corruption as a moral issue, there is something categorically wrong with his moral constitution,” dagdag pa ni Lacierda.
