Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay is aiming to become the next president of the country.
With his 23-year track record as the chief steward of the country’s premier business city, he holds the ace of drawing the “right formula” to propel this country to greater heights.
Binay arrived Thursday and drove around the province on board his “Binay Mobile”
In an interview, Binay stressed the importance of empowering the local government units. He cited that the national government is controlling 82% of the country’s budgetary allocation while only 18% is left for the LGUs. “Handa Para sa Bansa”, as his battle cry, the 66-year old mayor is delivering the message that it is prime time for him to do what he has done in Makati to the entire nation.
The following day, Binay motored to the municipalities of San Miguel, Carmen and Baclayon where Makati City had a sisterhood pact signed by Mayor Claudio Bonior, Mayor Boy Molina and Mayor Alvin Uy, respectively. He also inked the same sisterhood pact with the city of Tagbilaran with Mayor Dan Lim.
The Makati mayor has become a legend for his long running leadership of Makati after he introduced his branded health and education programs and his special concern for the senior citizens.
