MANILA \u2013 With the 2016 national elections nearing, Vice President Jejomar \u201cJojo\u201d Binay called for competent and experienced leaders to take over presidency \u2013 leaders whom he said were capable enough to deal with the current dilemmas besetting the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cO sa kanya \u2018Change,\u2019 o sa kanila \u2018Honesty.\u2019 Kanya-kanya tayong slogan (To him\/her, \u2018Change,\u2019 or to them, \u2018Honesty.\u2019 We have our own slogans),\u201d Binay said in a radio interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cAko ang slogan ko \u2018Competence and Experience.\u2019 Huwag niyo namang anuhin ang slogan ko. I\u2019m talking for myself, wala akong pinatutungkulan dito. Kanya-kanya ho tayong presentasyon sa tao,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

(As for me, my slogan is \u2018Competence and Experience.\u2019 Please do not raise issues about it. I\u2019m talking for myself, I\u2019m not referencing anyone. We have our own presentation to the people.)<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that Binay earlier stated that it would not be a good move if the presidency would be passed on to someone who was not well experienced in governing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you mean you will only learn about your responsibilities once you get elected? That would be the only time you will learn how to deal with a crisis. This BBL (Bangsamoro Basic Law) is a brewing crisis. Also the Spratlys issue is a brewing crisis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you have experience on how to deal with this. How about crisis [management] creation? The country will suffer. So we really need a president who has the competence and experience,\u201d he added, asserting that serving in the legislative branch is different from the executive branch.<\/p>\n

To this, Senator Grace Poe, who is on her first-term as legislator, responded that the next president should be honest to the country and its people. She insisted that Binay prove his honesty by facing corruption allegations against him. Binay\u2019s camp, however, claimed that the allegations were just political ploys against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Vice President\u2019s political detractors are clearly capitalizing on trial by publicity through fishing of evidence and shame campaign,\u201d Binay\u2019s spokesperson for political affairs, Rico Quicho, said, defending the vice president.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless, the Vice President is steadfast to protect his rights under the rule of law and pursue actions to vindicate the wrong done so he can continue his fight to uplift the lives of our people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Binay and Poe are the top contenders in recent presidential preferences surveys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
