Wazzup Pilipinas!
The President’s latest SONA came and went but he forgot to mention one person and that’s Vice President Jojomar Binay. It is no surprise he did that since Binay is expected to be the main competitor on the next elections against the election’s presidential candidate Mar Roxas. Binay uplifted the plight of the OFWs since he is the presidential assistant for Overseas Worker’s Affairs. However, that did not happen but that does not mean the president and the vice president of the country are at odds against each other. It just means the president had a lot of other people he thought that he should mention instead of his second in command. Whether they deserve to be mentioned on top of the vice president is another issue. Aquino obviously wants his best friend Mar Roxas to win the 2016 elections so the current projects of the government would be continued. However, he is not really sure if the public wants the same since his trust rate has gone down recently.
Nobody knows if Binay and Aquino really got along with each other during the President’s term. Now that there are only two years left on the current term of Aquino, that won’t really matter as it would be time to pass the torch in just a couple of years. If the elections would happen now, he would be touring Binay at the Malacanang palace. Some say the only way Binay loses is if massive cheating happens. That already happened in the past so it won’t be a surprised if it happens again. It won’t be fair though since the people should get who they want as the leader of the country. At least some lesser known cabinet members got mentions in the speech of the President. However, the person voted to be his second in command did not.
