Binay smells victory for Nancy
MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Jejomar Binay sees no reason to worry over the fate of his daughter’s bid for a Senate seat.
“Not anymore,” went the Vice President while he was walking towards the San Antonio National High School to vote on Monday morning.
He was asked whether he still felt nervous for his daughter, United Nationalist Alliance’s (UNA) candidate Nancy Binay.
Even the online bashing the opposition’s 40-year-old senatorial bet was getting did not worry the Vice President anymore.
“That is natural. Some people are just jealous… they want her to lose,” Binay said.
Nancy is no stranger to vicious attacks on social networking sites and has previously shrugged off criticisms on her capability to take on the responsibilities of a senator.
“She has answered those criticisms. Was the time she spent working for her mother and father not enough?” he asked.
In a separate interview, the Vice President said he felt confident that his daughter would win in the midterm elections.
