the EDSA Revolution.[13] He was elected in his own right on January 18, 1988,
and was reelected on May 11, 1992, and on May 8, 1995. Binay was known
as the first city mayor of Makati, as the municipality became a highly-
urbanized city on February 4, 1995. He joined pro-democracy forces in
preventing the mutinies against the Aquino administration from being
successful. His active role in the defense of the Constitution earned him the
nickname "Rambotito" (or little Rambo, after the screen hero), the Outstanding
Achievement Medal and a special commendation from Aquino. He became

a suspension order against Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, Vice Mayor Ernesto
Mercado, and all members of the city council following an accusation of 'ghost
employees' on the city payroll by former vice mayor Roberto Brillante, a political
rival.[14] Refusing to cooperate with the suspension order, Binay barricaded himself
inside the Makati City Hall. Among those who expressed support were former
president Corazon Aquino, actress Susan Roces – the widow of the late movie star
and 2004 opposition presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr. – and several Catholic
bishops.[15][16] After a three-day stand-off, the Court of Appeals issued a temporary
restraining order. Before it lapsed, the court issued an injunction order, thereby
preventing the Office of the President from enforcing its suspension order until the
case was resolved.
