Suspension order 1, Binay camps in City Hall
In 2006, Binay was slapped by DILG with a 60 day suspension for allegedly having ghost employees. DILG acted on complaint filed by ex Makati Vice Mayor Roberto Brillante. Binay and company are accused of spending public funds amounting to 128 million for 1235 ghost employees from January 2005 to June 2006. Binay filed a TRO to the Court of Appeals to stop probe of existence of ghost employees. Binay stayed in the Mayor's office while his supporters formed a barricade to prevent entry of DILG and police. A few days after, CA grants TRO request of Binay, easing tension at the city hall. Binay managed to overcome said suspension as CA sides with him, barring Malacanang to enforce said order. Court also orders halt to further investigations on the complaint.
