ABS-CBN respected journalist and TV host Karen Davila weighed in on the latest controversy involving the Mayor of Makati City, Mayor Junjun Binay and the guards of posh Dasmarinas Village.
The statement of Karen Davila was made during her DZMM Teleradyo episode last December 19, 2013. Karen Davila weighed in after a closed circuit television (CCTV) footage was published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer a few days ago showing an altercation between Binay’s security and guards of the subdivision.
Karen Davila on her radio program “Pasada Sais-Trenta” over DZMM, Davila said that she had nothing personal against the Binay Family of Makati City. The veteran journalist stated that the public should be made to understand “the bigger point of the story.”
Karen Davila was quoted as saying “Bakit? Who cares kung VIP yun,?” said Davila referring to the Binays. “Iyan na naman tayo, nandiyan ulit sa pag VIP bigyan mong konsiderasyon. Pag ordinaryong residente, ewan ko ba.” (Why? Who cares if they’re VIP? There we go again at giving considerations to VIP. But if it’s just an ordinary citizen, I really don’t understand.)
The ABS-CBN journalist also pointed out that the Philippines has so many so-called “VIPs” and if this is the case, then we might as well extend special treatment to these people.
Karen Davila was quoted as saying “Eh ang daming VIP sa Pilipinas ha… Ang senador 24, ang congressmen 200 plus. Eh pano yan, lahat yun VIP, eh kung dadaan yun lahat ng alas-dose, lahat papapasukin sa Dasma o palalabasin?” she continued. (The Philippines has many VIPs…We have 24 senators and more than 200 congressmen. They’re all VIP, what if they all used that gate at 12 midnight at the same time, should they be allowed?)” she said.
