‘HACIENDA BINAY’ IN BATANGAS A slide presentation by former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado shows the 350-hectare agriculture estate in Rosario, Batangas province, including its facilities and features, allegedly owned by the family of Vice President Jejomar Binay.MANILA, Philippines–A construction firm was forced to pad the costs of buildings it built for the Makati City local government when it could not collect from Dr. Elenita Binay P30 million for its work on a P1.2-billion sprawling farm allegedly owned by the Binays in Batangas province, a former city official said on Wednesday.
Elenita, a former mayor of Makati, is the wife of Vice President Jejomar Binay.
Former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado showed senators an aerial video footage and still photos of the 350-hectare estate in Rosario town that boasted luxurious facilities.
Developed over the years, the hacienda is now home to two mansions, one with a garden copied from a British royal garden, a pavilion, a 40-car garage, two man-made lagoons, an orchard and a cock farm, among others, Mercado said.
