If there was a senatorial candidate who felt the full brunt of the so-called Catholic vote, it was probably Risa Hontiveros, an aggressive campaigner for the reproductive health (RH) bill, according to another losing senatorial candidate.
Placing 11th in the latest partial count of the votes was a surprise for United Nationalist Alliance senatorial candidate Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito, but he said he was nevertheless thankful to be in the Magic 12.
Even if his senatorial slate was soundly beaten by President Aquino’s candidates in the recently concluded polls, Vice President Jejomar Binay is still the man to beat for the presidency in 2016, according to United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) campaign manager Toby Tiangco.
The Internet memes, satirical articles and scathing commentary won’t stop even when she enters the Senate, Nancy Binay has come to accept.
All nine United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) senatorial candidates are ready to face the most important survey—Monday’s elections—the coalition said Sunday as it battled last-minute black propaganda claiming that candidate Sen. Gregorio Honasan had backed out of the race.
Amid President Aquino’s consistent push for a 12-0 win for his senatorial slate, candidates of the rival United Nationalist Alliance said the independence of the Senate was at stake should the legislature be filled with his allies.
Senatorial candidate Nancy Binay continued to refuse to debate with Team PNoy’s Risa Hontiveros, but she gave the struggling candidate a tip to improve her popularity rating in surveys: Hold more motorcades.

The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) is consolidating local officials’ support in the run-up to the elections, and one of its candidates is working the phones to make sure friends and allies will stay with him up to May 13.
For the wheels of justice to turn, escapee Cezar Mancao II must return to the fold of the law and face the accusation against him, Sen. Gregorio Honasan, himself a former fugitive, said on Sunday.
In the mad dash to election day, the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) will be greatly hobbled by its inability to air television commercials featuring all its nine senatorial candidates together.
Personal friendships are stronger than politics, which is why the Liberal Party would be hard put to prevent some of its members from supporting candidates from the rival United Nationalist Alliance, according to senatorial candidate Joseph Victor Ejercito.
