Nancy Binay to run for Makati mayor

(UPDATE) SEN. Nancy Binay filed her certificate of candidacy (CoC) on Tuesday before the Commission on Elections, along with former Makati representative Monsour del Rosario. Binay is the official candidate for mayor of United Nationalist Alliance in Makati City, the country's premier financial district. Del Rosario is her running mate. "Thank you very much to our compatriots in Makati. Your warm welcome and support shown to me, as well as to my companions, is heartwarming. I am happy because from then until now, you have always been there. To support the Binay family. Please expect that it will be continued and expanded, and we will further strengthen the 'Alaga at Serbisyong Binay' that my father, former Vice President Jejomar Binay, started," Binay said, noting she would continue to prioritize education and good governance in Makati. "We want to make our compatriots feel a caring heart. Maybe this is what we want to be the direction of our city — and to recognize our public servants who wholeheartedly care and provide services to every citizen of Makati," she added. Del Rosario said he would abide by the "action and solution" principle, which he long practiced as a public servant. He added he would continue advocating for youth and sports development.
