Vice President Jojo Binay
It’s official. The former chief executive of Makati City is now the second highest official of the country.
On Wednesday, Jejomar C. Binay took his oath as Vice President before Supreme Court Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
After Binay, Benigno Simeon Noynoy Aquino III also took his oath as the country’s 15th President also before Morales.
Binay’s spouse, former Makati mayor Dr. Elenita Binay, was among his special guests at the inauguration rites.
Also in attendance were members of the Boys Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Alpha Phi Omega (APO) and other Binay supporters.
Binay is the current BSP president and also a member of Alpha Phi Omega University of the Philippines Diliman Chapter (Batch 1960).
When sought for a message to the Filipinos during a short interview at the Manila Hotel before the inauguration, he said: “Maraming salamat sa pagtitiwala. Mga kababayan namin, hindi sana kayo magsawa na isama niyo kami ni Pangulong Noynoy sa inyong mga dasal na maging tama sa aming tungkulin (Thank you for your trust. May you continue praying for President Noy and I that we do good in carrying out our tasks).”
Binay and his family members stayed at the Manila Hotel on Tuesday night and they were up at 4 a.m. to get ready for the inauguration at the Quirino Grandstand.
From the Manila Hotel, Binay was taken to the Quirino Grandstand by an electrical jeepney (E-jeep) which the former Makati mayor had introduced as part of his environmental advocacy.
Binay will attend the 6 p.m. Inaugural Ball at the Malacanang along with his wife but will likely skip the post-inauguration street party of President Aquino and his supporters at the Quezon City Memorial Circle on Wednesday night, as their family will have a small gathering at their residence in Barangay San Antonio, Makati.
On Tuesday, Binay, on his last duty as Makati mayor, officiated the wedding of losing Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) senatorial candidate Joey de Venecia III and Karen Batumbakal at the Makati City Hall.
