When will VP Jojo Binay disassociate himself from President Aquino? This was asked by an opinion writer in his column. He predicted that Binay will be dropping the president like a hot potato very soon.This is because of the continuous decline in PNoys approval rating as shown in the latest Malacang-commissioned survey that was unrevealed to the public. He reasoned out that the VP cannot afford to stay aboard a sinking ship lest hell get into the deep w/ it. I think the columnist has a very valid point but I have my reservations as to what he thinks Binay will soon decide to do. Yes, I agree w/ him that the VP will eventually severe his ties w/ the president but not soon enough as he foresees it. Maybe in the middle or earlier part of 2015. Should Binay start criticizing the president, all the president will have to do is to push the red button & all attack mechanisms of the 3 branches of government including major constitutional bodies will be put into action to bludgeon the political ambition of the VP into perdition. This was clearly manifested in the recent pork barrel scandal where potential candidates for president & vice-presidents were virtually hanged in public that predictably ended their future political plans. And Binay knows this. He does not want his closet open to the public to reveal the skeleton that for so long a time he has kept hidden from them. Im sure he is just buying time. The VP is a wily politician & his political stock & rating are impressively high at this juncture. He does not want his stars to dissipate this early. Definitely he has the plan to untie the knots of friendship w/ the chief executive that started even before PNoys mother became president. Maybe not today.....but surely tomorrow. In politics, interest supersedes friendship.
