Political Harassment

The suspension of Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay is clearly an example of Malacañang's way of harassing political opponents. It's pretty obvious. Why should the Palace carry out the suspension directly knowing that it is the Office of the Ombudsman which carries out these functions? Why the sudden interest in Binay and why single him out? And on the basis of raked-up charges from way back? C'mmon. And under whose complaint? Brillantes? who is known to be corrupt himself? Politics is so ugly in this part of the world, sometimes I just want to throw up.
