“Through all the joy and the sorrow, I’ve been with him. And all the crises that he has been through, personally and politically, I was with him.”

“… I was standing up for him… Ate ako e, di ba? Sana bigyan nya ako ng chance…” added Abby, who had to pause for a moment as she tried to control her emotions.

Abby pointed out that when JunJun was the mayor,  she would have never asked their father, former Vice President  Jejomar Binay,  to allow her to run against her brother.

“It is unconceivable for us na magbanggaan kaya hindi  ko  maintindihan bakit nya ako binabangga,” Abby said.

“I’m not fighting with my brother. I’m not in the business of making our family miserable nor will I wash our dirty linen in public. Whatever issues we have in our family, we will keep it within our family. It’s  just unfortunate that now, there’s a political difference.”

In the end, the incumbent mayor urged  JunJun to be “man enough to say I will give my Ate a chance.”
