Makati Mayor Abby Binay officially jumps into the Senate race, proving that political family ties are stronger than ever!

In a move that has all of Makati buzzing, Abigail “Abby” Binay, the beloved mayor of Makati, has officially launched her bid for a seat in the Senate. Amid cheers from supporters and a proud nod from her sister, Senator Nancy Binay, Abby is ready to take the national stage. Her sister has showered her with praise, saying, "I'm qualified for Senate!"—a sentiment that makes this sisterly bond all the more heartwarming in the often turbulent world of politics. It's not just family love speaking; Abby's nearly ten years of experience as a legislator in the House of Representatives adds considerable weight to her candidacy.

Abby Binay took a significant step forward by filing her Certificate of Candidacy (COC) this past Friday. With a focus on amending the local government code and enhancing social health legislation, she aims to bring fresh insights and much-needed reforms to national politics. "I want to put social health on the map!" declared Abby, drawing attention to her passion for healthcare and community welfare. As voters prepare to head to the polls in 2025, Abby’s ambitious plans resonate with constituents who appreciate her grassroots approach to governance.

But this isn’t just a solo mission; it's a family affair that has the potential to spice up the political landscape of Makati. As the mayor steps back from her local role, the race is heating up for who will take her place. In a surprising twist, Abby's sister Nancy and husband Luis Campos are set to compete against each other for the coveted mayoral seat, turning the local elections into a captivating family showdown. It's like a real-life episode of a political drama series where the stakes are high, but the connections run deeper.

Amidst this familial whirlwind, some intriguing insights can be drawn. Did you know that the Binays have a longstanding political legacy in Makati? Their family has been at the helm of local politics for decades, shaping the city into what it is today. Moreover, Abby’s senatorial run marks a significant transformation in her career, showing that it's never too late to switch gears and take on new challenges. It's all in the family, after all!
