Heidi Mendoza an attack dog -- Binay

From: inquirer.net

Vice President Jejomar Binay has described Commission on Audit (COA) Commissioner Heidi Mendoza an “attack dog.”

Binay noted how Mendoza brought the media when she testified at the Sandiganbayan Wednesday on the graft charges filed against his wife, former Makati Mayor Elenita Binay, and other city officials.

Binay said according to their sources, Mendoza called media people to cover her direct examination. He said Mendoza did not prepare the pieces of evidence that she presented in court.

“There is no cross examination yet. We will come to the cross examination. Sadly, it only shows that Mrs. Mendoza is an attack dog of my enemies,” he said.

In her testimony, Mendoza claimed that the P72-million contract awarded to Office Gallery International Inc. to supply new furnishings for Makati City Hall in 2000 was “rigged.”

But the Vice President simply shrugged off the COA chief’s testimony, saying it was politically motivated.###
