    SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao (MindaNews / 19 Aug) – Vice President Jejomar Binay said people’s money will be

    poured in the coming national and local elections to ensure victory of administration candidates.

    “Babaha ang pera sa araw ng halalan na ipamumodmod sa mga botante at manggagaling ito mismo sa kaban ng

    bayan (Money will be used for the voters and it will come from peoples money),” Binay told officials and residents of

    Sultan Kudarat town in Maguindanao where he was guest of honor and speaker during the municipality’s 68thfoundation anniversary on Tuesday (18 Aug).

    Without naming names, Binay was obviously referring to the Aquino administration which has access over

    government funds.

    “Accept the money,” he told voters. “That is your money, then vote according to your conscience,” Binay added.

    Binay, who has already declared his candidacy for the 2016 presidential elections, also hit the administration’s dirty

    tactics of filing corruption charges against those who opposed the current administration.

    “What we need are experienced leaders, not neophytes who lack the needed expertise in running the affairs of the

    government, not ‘palpak’ governance,” he added.

    While in town, Binay also administered the oath-taking of new members of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) and

    established the UNA-Maguindanao provincial chapter.

    He was told that former Maguindanao Rep. Didagen Dialangalen of LAKAS-CMD party has allied with the UNA party

    in Maguindanao.

    Also present during Binay’s visit were Maguindanao political leaders like Mamasapano Mayor Benzar Ampatuan,

    Talayan Mayor Ali Midtimbang and former Sultan Kudarat Mayor Tucao Mastura.

    Accompanying Binay were Philippine Councilor League chair Alma Moreno and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez, who

    both declared their respective senatorial bids.
