Binay yesterday said she would consult her legal team on her plan to file an ethics complaint against Cayetano for reportedly calling her a crazy rumormonger during Wednesday's hearing of the accounts committee on the status of the construction of the New Senate Building.
Binay said she doesn't feel an apology is forthcoming from her Senate-colleague judging from his demeanor and sexist remarks during the hearing.
Cayetano called Binay a "Marites" or rumormonger and crazy or "buwang" after she questioned Cayetano's P23-billion price tag on the Senate's new home in Taguig City.
"We don't expect him to behave as such considering that he is among the most senior senators. His attitude is very unbecoming of a senator," Binay said.
