Now that Filipinos are discussing who the next Philippine President should be, we can only hope that the voters will be wiser and stop voting for people like BS Aquino whose only credential was having popular parents. At this point though, Vice President Jejomar Binay is still up on the survey results. It’s a real mystery though considering he has been implicated in one corruption scandal after another. Binay may not have popular parents but he has created a formidable political dynasty after three decades in politics. His children are currently occupying influential positions in the local and national government. His son Jejomar, Jr. (Junjun) is currently the Mayor of Makati City; daughter Mar-len Abigail is a Congresswoman of Makati and his other daughter Nancy is currently a Senator. You would think that Makati City would be as progressive and high-tech as Singapore by now with all of them receiving public funds and channeling these to the same district. Well at least Jun-Jun Binay has an elevator in his mansion in one of the plush gated communities in Manila. Unfortunately, that won’t benefit the majority of Filipinos.
