Nancy Binay, A nobody who wants to be Senator


By Archie Fernandez

HERE WE GO again on our observations with these “senatoriables” who are plain and simple nobodies who want to be catapulted to the senate.
Presenting, Nancy Binay , the 39-year-old daughter of VP Jejomar Binay who has all guts to run as senator but no experience at all or whatsoever in public service.
Poor Nancy. All she can ever boast of as far as her credentials for being a senator is her job as “personal assistant” to her father Jojo Binay. Why does she have to rely on Papa Jojo to have a good job considering that she is already 39 years old and has a good educational background.
This is a reflection of how Nancy cannot do things on her own. And who knows, maybe Papa Jojo would even intercede once she makes it to the senate (hopefully not!).
If Nancy cannot get a good job, she should have started her own business especially that it is an open secret that the Binay family is extremely well-off and has the right connects! But Nancy still opted to be her father’s “alalay” all those years. Tsk tsk tsk…
One more thing about this Nancy Binay is that she has the temerity to seek a seat in the senate because it was the political party’s decision to run.
One does not need to be a political analyst or a graduate of a reputable university or college to understand that being a senator requires having a good public service record and not just being a personal assistant to the second highest official of the land.
Nancy, sad to say, did not even have the experience of being a barangay chairman, or a barangay kagawad, or even a barangay tanod and yet she is seeking a seat in the senate.
Nancy must be reminded that being senator is not a simple job and please do not deceive the Filipino voters, who are getting wiser, to help you win a seat in the senate.
All Nancy can ever present to us Filipino people is her being a Binay, jut like Grace Poe and Bam Aquino who rely solely on their clan’s popularity.
Please Filipino voters…be wise!
