Binay said that his chair was too big, his office too small, too hot and too bare, and his budget was too small \u2014 lesser than one barangay in Makati. But considering that he\u2019s too short \u2014 5\u20192\u201d without the elevator shoes \u2014 for the big chair, it seems that Binay\u2019s ego is too big for his size. Yup, Binay is a man with too many \u201ctoo\u2019s\u201d \u2014 too few of this, too little of that, and too much hot air.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2026. Doesn\u2019t coconut sound like cuckoo nut? What does Noynoy think of Binay, a wang-bu? (A person with a demented mind) Well, Binay doesn\u2019t have too much of a choice \u2014 either he accepts the Coconut Palace or he\u2019ll have to settle for Noli\u2019s 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) \u201cEmperor of Makati\u201d \u2014 a palace of his own by the Manila Bay where one can fly over the cuckoo\u2019s nest. \u2013 ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
