Vice President Jejomar Binay on Saturday continued his campaign and wooed voters in Rizal province, calling himself the “candidate of senior citizens.”
In Angono, Binay boasted the services that elderly people in Makati City enjoyed when he was still mayor, and vowed that he would replicate those should he be elected president in the May elections.
Binay previously pledged to include senior citizens aged 60 to 64 in an “expanded and improved” Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a project started by the Aquino administration.
“Napapanahon na na ang ating bansa ay magkaroon ng isang pangulo na may karanasan, may kakayahan at may malasakit sa kanyang kapwa Pilipino,” Binay said.
In an assembly at the Anakpawis court at Barangay (village) San Andres, the opposition leader also reiterated his intention to appoint his running mate, Sen. Gringo Honasan, as crime czar if they win in the May polls.
“May problema talaga tayo sa katahimikan at ito po ang magiging sagot, si Vice President Greg Honasan. Ito ay talagang hindi nila masisindak ito. Subok na sa katapangan,” Binay said, recalling the death in Batangas of a fraternity brother, former Sto. Tomas Councilor Damasino “Caloy” Mabilangan Jr., who was shot dead Friday morning while jogging. RC
