De Lima: VP Binay enjoys immunity from lawsuits
MANILA, Philippines – Justice Secretary Leila De Lima on Tuesday, July 7, corrected her earlier statement that vice presidents do not have the immunity from lawsuits enjoyed by presidents.
Citing "conventional wisdom," De Lima conceded that Vice President Jejomar Binay may not face criminal prosecution for allegedly anomalous contracts he entered into when he was mayor of Makati City.
