Binay, a UP tourism graduate, expects senior members of the chamber to reach out to her.
“Siyempre medyo may kaba rin lalo na sa mga senior senators pero siyempre advantage ko nga si Senate President [Juan Ponce] Enrile, during the course of the campaign, nakakasama ko siya. Si Sen [Franklin] Drilon, ninong ko naman siya.”
(Of course, I am also nervous especially being with senior senators but of course there’s an advantage that Senate President Enrile, during the course of the campaign, we’ve been together. Sen Drilon is my godfather.)
How about Sen Miriam Defensor Santiago?
“I guess siya lang ang wala akong ano. Hoping for the best. Medyo may kaba.” (I guess she is the only one I don’t have a connection with. Hoping for the best but I’m nervous.)
