The VP takes a dig at ‘Inexperienced’ Poe
Following the result of the latest survey done by Pulse Asia survey pulling Vice President Jejomar Binay behind Senator Grace Poe, the vice president said it is a “wake-up call” for him.
The latest result of the survey showed that Poe has overtaken Binay in the voters’ presidential preference rating among potential 2016 candidates.

Binay on Thursday said that the decline in the voters’ preference was a wakeup call as he got 22 percent rating far from Poe who had 30 percent.
However, the vice president reiterated that experience matters when it comes to choosing the next president.
“Magkakaroon lang ng tunay na pagbabago kung ang ating mga ihahalal ay may karanasan bilang local executive, subok sa krisis, handang maglingkod at may tunay na malasakit sa mahihirap,” Binay said in a statement.
He added that his camp respects the public’s opinion voiced through the latest survey.
“Sa aming bahagi, lagi kaming nakikinig sa public opinion at pinapahalagahan namin ito,” he said.
The VP said he would continue to reach out people to listen to their sentiments.
“Lalo ko pa pong pag-iibayuhin ang pagdulog ng direkta sa ating mga kababayan para malaman ko ang tunay nilang damdamin,” he said.
Despite massive issues thrown against him, Binay thanked followers for their continued support.
