ACTUAL track record and not poll surveys will speak for Vice President Jejomar Binay, his running mate Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan said Monday.
In a radio interview, Honasan said both of them have good track records compared to other political candidates and that should be reason enough for people to vote for their slate.
Binay and Honasan are running as presidential and vice presidential bets of the United Nationalist Alliance, a coalition between the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan and the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
Gringo said that other candidates running for the country’s top posts cannot match their track records with promises, adding that the corruption allegations hurled against them should be heard before the courts.
Honasan said Binay has already proven himself not only as a vice president but also as a longtime mayor of Makati.
The case should be heard in court, not in public forums, Honasan said on the allegations of corruption against Binay.
Honasan himself is facing graft raps, being one of eight lawmakers charged last year for allegedly allocating their Priority Development Assistance Fund to supposedly fake foundations allegedly owned by businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles.
Honasan also said he and Binay agreed that should the allegations against the vice president be proven true, he will let justice prevail.
Binay had repeatedly denied the allegations of the National Bureau of Investigation that he received P1.75 million in kickbacks. He said he will not let his 42 years of public service go to waste for P1.75 million.
