It was reported in the news that Binay complained about his new office, which is actually an old office used by former vice president Noli de Castro for six years. Binay said that his chair was too big, his office too small, too hot and too bare, and his budget was too small — lesser than one barangay in Makati. But considering that he’s too short — 5’2” without the elevator shoes — for the big chair, it seems that Binay’s ego is too big for his size. Yup, Binay is a man with too many “too’s” — too few of this, too little of that, and too much hot air.
Binay finally had the courage to ask Noynoy for a bigger office that would be fitting for a vice president. Well, to make the story short (no pun intended), Aquino offered Binay the Coconut Palace for his office as well as official residence. Hmmm…. Doesn’t coconut sound like cuckoo nut? What does Noynoy think of Binay, a wang-bu? (A person with a demented mind) Well, Binay doesn’t have too much of a choice — either he accepts the Coconut Palace or he’ll have to settle for Noli’s old office with too few of this, too little of that, and too much hot air. The Coconut Palace would really be fitting for the (former) “Emperor of Makati” — a palace of his own by the Manila Bay where one can fly over the cuckoo’s nest. – ?
