The  Fifteenth Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines Jejomar “Jojo” Binay whom also served as the President of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. Binay served as mayor of Makati City for a total of 21 years. In Makati prior to being elected as Vice President , he is well-loved or criticized.





He often jokes about his dark complexion. Binay’s dark colored skin has been the subjected of several Internet jokes, but the Vice President used his complexion to his advantage.
“Binabatikos ang aking mga ‘cousin’- mga kasing-itim, kasing-tangkad ni Jojo Binay” is a joke he often cracks in his foray.

The circumstances of Vice President Binay had a humble beginnings when he was young and been orphaned, and lived with his uncle. He worked odd jobs to pay for his schooling, including cooking “kaning-baboy” (pigs feed). Even though He is working, it didn’t become a hindrance for Him to study to become an Iskolar ng Bayan. After the 1986 revolution, Binay was appointed officer-in-charge of Makati by former president Corazon “Cory” Aquino, the mother of President Benigno “Noynoy” S Aquino III. So he owes his political break to Cory Aquino. But will he sustain this certain to Miss Cory to continue in the politics with humble and willing clean heart to serve our country?

Vice President Jejomar was the first politician to confidently declare his offer for the presidency in 2016 during the launch of the United Nationalist Alliance in Makati.

Well the road to the 2016 polls has been a tough road so far for Vice President, who is subject of the longest Senate blue ribbon subcommittee investigation over several allegedly anomalous contracts he entered into as Makati Mayor. It seems that all we hear about Him now is all pertaining to corruption in our country and His family is also with it.

Binay should have been a good choice for Presidency only if he answered all his allegations and make effort to prove that he is not guilty of any corruptions. If he is attending the senate hearing and face all those allegations bravely then we can conclude that he is not guilty.

Most Filipinos choose based on what they have done in the past few months this 2015, and some for what their eyes in the social networking sites, ads, commercials, is feeding them, But  make sure to have a proper judgment about everything we read and hear from others, if it is to believe or not. Make a proper justification, and be wise!
