Vice President of the Philippines
Binay welcomes any support from the members of other political parties,
including ruling Liberal Party, to strengthen his presidential bid in the 2016
election.
VPBinay issued statement after members
of LP reportedly expressed support for the vice president despite of all the accusations
of corruption that was raised against him by the former Makati vice mayor Mercado.
Senate subcommittee was also investigating
the vice mayor allegations. Vice President’s camp said that the corruption
allegations were also part of the efforts by his political foes in order to
discredit him and ruin his big chances in the 2016 election. VPBinay remains front—runner
in the presidential surveys.
VPBinay’s statement came on heels
of President Aquino’s pronouncement that latter may endorse a non—LP candidate
as a party standard—bearer in next polls.
VPBinay said that LP leaders
would try to come across ways in order to make sure that they remain in power
after 2016 “any preference just to keep hold of that goal, to remain in power.”
“Many members in LP are now nervous”
as VPBinay said to reporters at Coconut Palace interview.
VPBinay insist that he is still
convinced Interior Secretary Roxas II would end up LP’s standard bearer in the 2016
presidential election.
