Senator Nancy Binay suggested that the dispute between Makati and Taguig local governments may underpin Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s recent objections to the new Senate building, citing political rivalry as a possible motive.
Binay, preparing for a Senate committee hearing on the building’s costs, expressed disappointment that Cayetano declined dialogue on the matter.
She initially doubted political motives but increasingly sees them as pivotal.
Following her resignation as Senate accounts committee chair, Binay hinted at running for Makati mayor in 2025, a position held by her sister Abby.
The ongoing territorial dispute, exacerbated by a Supreme Court ruling favoring Taguig, further complicates the political landscape.
