MAKATI, Philippines - Vice-President Jejomar Binay on Friday said he does not approve of any law that will ban political dynasties.

In an interview with media at the Makati City Hall, Binay said people should be allowed to vote for their choice of leaders.

"Di ako naniniwala sa dynasty eh. Bakit naman magkakaroon ng batas na magbabawal sa isang qualified kapag gusto ng taong bayan?" he asked.

"Ang diwa ng tunay na demokrasya ay ang kagustuhan ng taong bayan. Vox populi," he added.

Binay and his wife, Elenita, are former mayors of Makati. Their son, Junjun, is the incumbent mayor of the city.

Binay's eldest daughter, Nancy, is running for senator under the United Nationalist Alliance in the 2013 elections.

Another Binay daughter, Abigai, is Makati congresswoman.

The vice-president claimed that the issue of political dynasties is only being used by those who can't win elections.

"Ang issue ng dynasty-dynasty ay nagiging matingkad lamang dahil sa yung iba hindi maboto eh. Gustong mabawasan ang kalaban," he said.

"Tingin ko kasi ang mga dynasty-dynasty na ito, nagiging matingkad lamang kasi may kahalong violence at overspending kapag gusto na kapwa pamilya ang mahalal," he added.

Binay said political dynasties are not a problem in other countries, such as the United States. "Bakit sa ibang bansa hindi naman ito matingkad? Sila Bush, sila Kennedy."

"Pairalin natin ang kagustuhan ng karamihan at huwag natin paikutan ang gusto ng ating mga kababayan. Isa pa yung mga political parties, dynasty din yun. Yung X dynasty, Y dynasty, Z dynasty, yung mga party na gustong makapaglingkod ng habang buhay," he said.

"Uulitin ko a, basta marangal at malinis na halalan, kahit na sino. Biro mo naman yan bukas makalawa, e yung mga mahihina o hindi nakapagaralhindi makakakandidato dahil sa mahina o dahil sa tanga? Patas patas lang yan eh," Binay said.

Mabuhay ka Nognog! Isa kang huwarang public servant.

Obviously he is going to reject it because his family is the very definition of political dynasty.

Indeed.

Philippine will come under his mercy along with his trapo party come 2016.

[ZENMasterTYL]

ganyang klaseng politiko ang kailangan natin.... not

kailan ba tayo lulubayan ng mga trapo?

Stagnant na nga growth ng Makati eh. Left and right ang construction sa ibang lugar, dito lang hindi gaano. Kasi nga ang hirap maki-negotiate sa Republic of Binay. Its always his way or the highway.

Honestly, it would surprise me if Binay supported an anti-dynasty law.

Kelangan protektahan niya ang mga interest niya, at kasama dun ang pagpapalawig ng pamilya niya sa pulitika.

sabi nga sa tv ad eh........."kay nancy binay, gaganda ang buhay!"

[ecneret]

Panalo!

Sabi ko nga sa kaibigan ni misis na nag tatrabaho sa DILG. Covered na ni Binay ang lahat ng interest nya sa 2016 dahil President sya and mga anak nya naman eh Senator, Mayor, at Congresswoman. Pwede ding tumakbo si Misis as Vice-Mayor.

Mas lalago ang cake business ni Binay pag naging President sya dahil maging cake supplier na sila ng buong Pinas sa mga may birthday.
