Senator and Makati mayoral candidate Nancy Binay said Friday that she remains open to reconciling with her sister, incumbent Mayor Abby Binay, despite their ongoing political rivalry.
“Magkadugo pa rin kami, iisa lang ang mga magulang namin. So the door for reconciliation should always be open,” she said.
Nancy Binay, who is running against her brother-in-law, Second District Rep. Luis Campos Jr., hopes to restore peace in their family after the elections.
“Ang importante ay pag-usapan namin kung ano yung gusto naming ibigay sa mga taga-Makati. Sana maiwasan yung personal attacks kasi at the end of the day, magkapatid pa rin kami,” she added.
On the first day of local campaigning, Binay visited Barangay Pio del Pilar, a place she described as the “roots” of the Binay family. She acknowledged the challenge of running against an incumbent’s political advantage.
“Pinaka-hamon siguro at the end of the day, I don’t have the equity of the incumbent. Yun yung for me, very challenging,” she said.
Joining her on the campaign trail was former congressman Monsour Del Rosario, who is running for vice mayor against Makati First District Rep. Kid Peña. Team Binay’s slate of councilor candidates also participated in a house-to-house campaign, which began at 7 a.m. after a Mass at San Ildefonso Parish Church.
