“In the said ‘student assembly,’ Binay gave the ‘True’ State of the Nation Address (True SONA) where he slammed anew the ‘bumbling and insensitive’ government led by President Benigno Aquino III while being silent on the corruption allegations hurled against him,” reports Aries Joseph Hegina on Inquirer.net.
In a 24 Oras report that aired on Tue night, Aug 4, Chavez said, “Hindi ko po talaga alam. Mamatay na po kaming lahat. Sumusumpa po ako. Dalawang kamay akong tumataas na hindi ko po talaga alam (I really did not know. I swear on my life. I raise my two hands and swear that I did not know).”
Meanwhile, as the report indicated, CvSU Central Student Government president Vincent Bae owned up for inviting Binay to speak in their school and keeping it secret to the university’s administration.
“We are going to be responsible kung ano po ‘yung ginawa namin. Naniniwala po kami na as a student government, we are somehow very independent (We are going to be responsible for what we did. We believe that as a student government, we are somehow very independent),” Bae stated.
