COC filing puts spotlight on relatives as rivals

COC filing puts spotlight on relatives as rivals

While next year's elections will continue to be a family affair in many local government units, some races in Metro Manila will see rivals coming from the same political dynasties.

In Makati for instance, the rift within the Binay family – first seen in the 2019 elections – will see a resurgence in 2025.

Sen. Nancy Binay, who is term-limited, will run for the seat to be vacated by her sister, Mayor Abby Binay.

But Abby, who will seek to replace her sister in the Senate, is supporting her husband, Makati Rep. Luis Campos, against Nancy.

The expected showdown between Nancy and Campos will be a repeat of sorts for the Binay family, when their brother Junjur ran against Abby in 2019.

After filing her certificate of candidacy on Oct. 1, an emotional Nancy maintained that she is not running against her sister, as Abby's name will not be on the ballot.

The senator noted the support of their father, former vice president Jejomar Binay, who signed her certificate of nomination. The Binay patriarch heads their party, the United Nationalist Alliance.
