CLOSING STATEMENT

There had been a lot of black propaganda against me, most recently in the recent months that I have withdrawn because of my cancer. I have already shown you that I am what I am now. I am what I was today. And what I will be tomorrow. (1)

We are not looking for an ordinary leader or an ordinary manager or administrator. We are looking for the President of the Philippines. So……I think that the first qualification should be international stature that would be of great help to Philippine foreign and domestic policy. (1)

But more importantly, I repeat, there are three qualifications to become President.

Academic Excellence. (2)
I have Doctorate in Juridical Science from America. And I was Valedictorian in all my classes. Those who sit at the back cannot be a president of the Philippines.

Second, professional excellence. I was conferred by Magsaysay Award for Government Service, “for bold and moral leadership in cleaning up a corrupt government agency.” Do they have such? (2)

Third, moral excellence. Aside from these two excellences there is moral excellence which is the most important. (3)

Unfortunately, there is no machine that you can attach to a human being so that you can’t tell whether that person is honest or not.

Flatterer perhaps, possibly with bright and breezy mouth, loquacious maybe telling anything whatever that comes out from the mind. So think of this enterprise that we’re doing consientiously.

Were choosing for someone who will be a leader within the next six years. We can’t choose merely because you like it or it’s trending in your gang, tribes or school.

We are all united in this endeavor to improve and reform the Philippines. Others think that we’ll be permanently like this. No. Fight corruption which is the cause of our poverty. We can fight corruption. I have shown it in Immigration Commission. (4)

I have not allowed my words to overcome my deeds.

And, for those who think that I should withdraw because I have once been a cancer patient, this is what I say, “I am now normal. I can think and I can act and I can pray.” (5) No, you want me to quit? You’ve been telling in fact that Miriam has already conceded. Imagine, she’s rating even on radio? My reply, “I will never quit. I will never stop. I will never withdraw.”

We all want to change the world for the better. But the person who prayed should be emulated. He said, “God, preserve this country and begin with me.” (6)

Thank you.

COMMENTARY:

1). International stature can be an edge because that would mean broad foreign studies that can benefit the country and its people but not always beneficial because it even compromises other sectors. For example, reproductive health bill which was copied from abroad can allocate fund of P1.157-billion[1][2]  which compromises quality education of the poor because of poor classrooms and inadequate books  as reported by Sen. Bong Bong Marcos, Jr.[3]

2). Academic Excellence can also be an edge but does not guarantee good governance.  This country has been ran by intellectuals who finished degrees both locally and internationally but until now corruption remains as a threat of the country’s good life.  Conversely, 25 percent of the U.S. Presidents (11 people) are not college graduate including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln who are among the most prominent, but this country becomes famous.



Karen Davila (Moderator)

 Alright. Vice President Binay, you have five minutes, please. The stage is yours. You can walk, use the stage.  Vice President Binay.

I will walk.

You have already heard the promises and stands of the candidates.  You have heard it again, the old issues which are all accusations.  Accusation, accusation, accusation which has not convicted me but end up nothing. 

As I’ve said, it is tough. They allegedly accused me for not explaining.  These people, as I’ve said, one will pretend to be blind if one perefers not to see.  If one prefers not to hear explanation, one will pretend to be a deaf.  (1)

These promises are all nothing.  Mostly of these promises and programs either come from the candidates or typically from their advisers.

What is important is: does the one aiming for presidency possesses the capacity to implement promises?  Have a track record?  Have experience?  Even if experienced, all of these might have been done negligibly.  

Here is Jojo Binay, with the extensive experience, no one will surpass me. 

Experienced as servant in executive department in our country.

I’ve been a Mayor for 21 years. The problems that the president will face afre the problems that I faced when I assumed post in Makati. (1)

When I took charge, people in Makati were simply eating rice and anchovies.  Rice with soy sauce and golden lime only.  With the right governance of Jojo Binay, lives in Makati progress.  Ask anyone and you’ll find out that it is the life that is content, the life being in Makati. (2) 

Competence? My goodness, before that, after more than 21 years as a mayor, I was a governor.  Concurrent to my being mayor, I was also appointed as governor. I replaced Mrs. Marcos in Metro Manila Commission.

I became Chairman for three times MMC, MMA, MMDA. I was chairman of the Development Authority.   I was chairman in shelter sector.  I’ve been able to give lands particularly here in shelter sector.  I’ve been able to provide many houses when I was chairman of NHA. (3)

But what I am permanently proud of is that I’ve been able to turn Pag-IBIG into one of the best – one of the best government agencies. (4)

You have elected me as vice-president, and you have not regret on voting me.  Because I accomplish all of the assignments given to me.  My accomplishments were okay so far.

I’ve shown that I am an executive, I am an administrator, I am a leader that makes the decisive decisions.

Now, what is also needed is he came from impoverishment.  I came from poverty.  I know laundry, marketing, and ironing.

Nevertheless, I’ll accomplish all of them first, and in saying as a president, I will always contemplate on how to develop the life of every Filipino.

As a parting word, I would like to thank my family for not leaving me despite the different criticisms that my candidacy caused them.

I also thank the people of Makati for giving me the opportunity to showcase Jojo Binay’s leadership.

I thank the agencies that I was able to help and the calamity-affected areas. They have shown me that they’re with Jojo Binay. It’s the leader’s responsibility to be with his countrymen through thick and thin. 

I am Jojo Binay. If there is BFF in ABS-CBN......there’s likewise Binay Filipino Forever.

Jojo Binay for president.

COMMENTARY:

1). The moderator during the debate in Cebu disallowed any candidate to bring any cheat sheet in the forum so the Vice President was not able to present his documents pertaining to the accusations.  Now that he’s given again the chance to clear up allegations, he refused to.Thus I consider this innumerable experiences as idealistic because it’s tainted with uimmunerable imperfections as well, as disclosed. Thus his extensive managerial exposures to different government agencies can be futile because of this controversy.



Tony Velasquez (Moderator): Thank you.

VP Jejomar Binay: Number 1 in the ballot.

Tony Velasquez (Moderator): Thank you, Vice President.

Tony Velasquez (Moderator):  Secretary Roxas will be the next. Secretary Roxas, five minutes for you. Alright. Please proceed.

Thank you very much to you all especially to those who welcomed me and Leni in our visits around the country, those who showed their supports, those who shook their hands, took care of us, hugged us. It’s heartwarming.   And your heartfelt welcoming of us refreshes the reason why we’re fighting for the country.

Thank you very much again, especially to the people for watching today, for their shout-out.

Campaign is almost done, this is the last debate. The campaign is winding down. It has been vicious and divisive. Many are harmed: women, LGBT, persons with disabilities, senior citizens. Frequently are the helpless. (1)

But this is not who we are as a people. We are a generous people. We are warm. We are loving. We are supple. The parents “Even with the food all ready for her to consume, the mother will always find the need to still give every last morsel to her children.” (2)

We do with so much less because we want our children to have more. And they deserve more. Every Filipino deserves more. And that is what is at the root of our frustration. (3) Others would use our frustration to deceive us, (4) to forget that we already have gone too far, to forget who we are as Filipinos, to forget that the genuine and useful transformation is attained not through blaming, insulting or merely a soundbite.  This happens because it has been worked out. (5)

And this is what the elections have come down to. The talkers versus the doers. Those that bring out the worst in us versus those that bring out the best in us. (6)

Those who will burn everything that we have sacrificed against those who will nourish and guard what we have planted. (7)

We must stay the course because our economy is already growing. This is what has turned us from the sick man of Asia to Asia's bright star. (8)

Many are provided with jobs. Our unemployment is at its lowest level in 10 years. (9)

We have built more classrooms (1) and hired more teachers in the last five years than all the previous five administrations combined. (10)

We’ve been able to save more than two million of our countrymen from poverty. They’re no longer in the category of poor. (2)

Environment has been developed and many more.

But you know what? This is only a foundation. The best is yet to come. Another six years of honest, decent, hardworking governance and we will arrive at what we’re aiming for. (11) Philippines that is developed and decent. Full of opportunities, free from fear, and free to dream. This is progressive and decent Philippines with integrity. God-fearing. That you can be proud of. This is the Philippines that we’ve been fighting for. Great are our ancestors.  Great is our country. This is a fight worth fighting. This is a fight for our country.

I’m calling your attention.  Rally to our cause. Knock on them, we will talk to them, we will persuade our loved ones….our acquaintances, friends, colleagues.  Let’s us bring the good news of our present state of affairs. (12)

Don’t be afraid.  Let our voice be heard. This is the good fight. This is a fight for decency, for honesty, for our future. (13)

On the 9th of May, prove to the entire Philippines at to the whole world, we are still abundant of decent Filipinos. We still have a plethora of good Filipinos. We’re still in profusion of upright Filipinos. (14) Join me.  Let us triumph over in this fight.

Thank you very much.

COMMENTARY:

1). Socio-economic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan forecasted Philippine poverty rate to be 18-20 percent by 2016,[4] when President Benigno Aquino's term ends, which was originally projected at 16.6 percent of its 100 million people would still be living in poverty by 2016. 

2). Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. who is against the K to 12 program points at inadequate school buildings materials, school supplies provided in public schools that are below standard as areas of concern.[5]

To my countrymen here in Pangasinan, thank you for your inspiration and for accepting us.  And to our countrymen around the Philippines, you are the reason why I am here.

I’ve gone through a lot of trials in this campaign.  Nevertheless, when thinking of it at an instance, I simply dwell on the objective why I am here, why I am running.  Because I never dreamed this.  Especially when I witnessed what my father FPJ had gone through.

But for more than 100 million Filipinos, only a few are given with the opportunity, hoping to contribute for the future of our country in this way. (1)

Jessa, you are the reason why I am here…because I have my daughter who is just like you. (2)

As a woman, as a mother, can you take that there are still millions of children who are starving in our country?  (3) Can you tolerate that the money that is supposedly for the medication of our sick countrymen are pocketed or wasted in the wrong spending? (4) Can you take no notice of the farmers who provide us food but can’t be provided with food when they have no harvest? (5) Can you turn your back on the teachers who leave to become domestic helpers in other country? (6)

Countrymen, there is a lot that we can for the country. It might be me, or it’s not me perhaps.  But I should give the chance on trying because I am a Filipino, we love our country. (7)

Others say: can a woman be capable of leading amidst all of these difficulties that the country is facing?  Is she adept on subjugating the crime on drugs? Is she capable of fighting China and other threat of the country?

Countrymen, woman is patient.  Women are tolerant.  Women are loving. But when you place their loved ones in menace, women do not give up.  Women fight for their husband from homewrecking.  (8)

Still others say that I am new.  Right.  But our problems are not new anymore, they are still the same. (9) New perspective might still be needed. 

Nothing is bad about new.  We like newly cooked, newly bathed, new boyfriend…new country….new hope and new Philippines, where every child in public elementary school can eat free lunch, (10) where poor children can finish education, (11) where our farmers can have free irrigation, (12) where merchants are attracted to invest in our country because we will fight corruption, (13) where our allies will help because we are country that is valuable in the community of other countries. (14)

Countrymen, to be honest, many women should be given the opportunity in the government because we could connect. We are taking care of our families. (15)

It’s true, (house pillar) – Home needs light but most of all love, care aand protection are needed. Women are capable. (16)

I’m doing this for you. I’m also doing this for my children. We’ll be together for the the future that we will be proud of, that we can be proud of in other country, in a country  wherein not only a few are rich, wherein not  only a few are happy, wherein all of us are together. (17)

Whether you’re white, red, yellow or whatever color, we’re one after the election.  A Filipino who loves the country.

Thank youn very much.

COMMENTARY:

As a newcomer to politics, I’m taking my doubts that she could perform well drawn from her heartfelt promises. Based on the past and present governance ran by  long time politicians, elderly, with expertise, academic honors and education both locally and internationally, serving both the lowest and the highest seats, corruption and injustice has been unbridled and whose values are developed not by sincerest public service but by deceit.  Thus, it’s perhaps the best time to experiment on a proletarian.

She’s the only candidate who addresses the child by mentioning her name on her message.  Hence, she’s a good listener.    


Karen Davila (Moderator): Thank you very much, Senator Grace Poe.
