Dignity and Compassion: The Life Story of Jejomar C. Binay was one of the books I received during the holiday season that has just ended. Fresh off the press, the 320-page biography is co-authored by Joey Salgado and Krip Yuson. While I was reading the book last weekend, the former Vice President’s column in this paper titled “A Good Start” popped up on my news feed after being shared by a Facebook friend. Surprisingly, the entire column was devoted to Alan Peter Cayetano, former Speaker of the House of Representatives. Binay wrote about the alleged sins of Cayetano that led to his ouster from the speakership last October – zeroing in on three issues that bedeviled the congressman from Taguig: his role in orchestrating the rejection of ABS-CBN Corp.’s franchise renewal bid; “fat” budget allocations for himself and his allies; and “overpricing” of projects for the 2019 Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) hosted by the Philippines.
