Despite the worst political crisis in his public career, Vice President Jejomar Binay assured executives of the Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) that his journey would still end in Malacañang.

Binay joined some 80 BSP national and regional executives in a morning walk that started at the BSP office located at the back of Manila City hall and winded up at his official residence at the Coconut Palace in Pasay City.

At the end of the walk, he joined the executives, who were in Manila to attend the 55th Annual National Scout Executive Conference, in a boodle fight at the Coconut Palace.

Before sharing a meal laid out in a long table, he welcomed the group in his official residence and gave a short speech on the 36-year-old, three-hectare-long Coconut Palace.

“My office is open to all members of the BSP,” said Binay, the longest serving president of the organization.

“But we will not [only] end up meeting here, it goes without saying,” the Vice President said, bringing more cheers and applause from the group.

When asked by reporters whether his statement was alluding to his presidential bid, he said his statements should “not be mixed with politics.”

He said he is the BSP president and the morning activity was a “physical fitness activity or timeout from their conference” and thus, was “no political activity.”
