Antonio Trillanes IV, who initiated the Senate probe against Binay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe disgraces the memory of past senators who made history in the Senate with their intellect, conduct and statesmanship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As to the claim of lawyer Renato Bondal during the Senate hearing that Sen. Nancy Binay was carrying a gun when she got off her car in Dasmari\u00f1as village, the spokesman said the younger Binay was holding a Samsung Note mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he poor video quality only attests to the depths of his imagination. For the record, the senator was carrying a cellphone,\u201d Quicho said. \u201cBut this is Bondal the \u2018manghuhula\u2019 after all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Echoing the Vice President\u2019s repeated remarks of a \u201cbumbling and insensitive\u201d (palpak at mandhid) government, Quicho dismissed the Senate probe as politically motivated, supposedly to sabotage Binay\u2019s presidential bid in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBagyo, epidemya, trahedya sa dagat \u2013 lahat ay nangyari sa loob ng isang linggo \u2013 ngunit lahat ay hindi binigyang-halaga sa ngalan ng pulitika at ambisyon,\u201d he
