VP Binay Backs Out of Debate with Trillanes

Vice President Jejomar Binay on Tuesday said he is backing out of a debate with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV scheduled on November 27, GMA News Online reported.

Binay revealed his decision as he marked his 72nd birthday at the Philippine Marines headquarters, according to GMA News’ Sandra Aguinaldo on GMA News TV’s News to Go.

At the time, he was asked to comment on Trillanes’ claim that Binay has an advantage over him because the Vice President is a lawyer. When asked what could change his mind, Binay said his decision is final.

Earlier, the KBP has disclosed the topics to be addressed during the debate. The two camps are scheduled to sign debate agreement this week.
