So this is the reason why Malacanang tried to suspend Binay

From ABS-CBN:

In the COMELEC’s final tally at 6 a.m. Thursday, Binay won a total of 198,814 votes against the 22,462 of Sen. Lito Lapid.

The third mayoral candidate, Elias Dulalia, garnered 1,243 votes.

Lito Lapid got mauled.

And some good news too for Manilenos: Ali's out and Miles Roces seems to be losing to Naida Angping

Mayoral bet Arnold "Ali" Atienza conceded to Sen. Alfredo Lim Thursday afternoon.

Speaking to reporters at the Diamond Hotel along Roxas Boulevard, Atienza said the will of Manila voters must prevail and shook the hand of Lim.

"I am conceding to Senator Lim," he said.

"It’s the will of the Manileños. But it is still a victory for me to receive such overwhelming support. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t."

Atienza said data of his party Buhayin ang Maynila showed that he received an estimated 200,000 votes while Lim won the election with an estimated lead of 80,000 votes.
.....
Ali’s brother-in-law re-electionist 3rd District Rep. Miles Roces was reported to be also losing to Naida Angping.
