Supporters of former Makati City Vice Mayor Romulo “Kid” Peña Jr. have switched sides, expressing their support for incumbent Mayor Abby Binay and her father, ex-Vice President Jejomar Binay. Peña — who took over when Abby’s brother, Junjun Binay, stepped down as Makati mayor in 2015 — is running as congressman in Makati’s first district in May. ADVERTISEMENTPeña, who narrowly lost to Abby when both ran for Makati mayor in 2016, will be pitted against the former VP. We are excited to see the full digital transformation of Makati,” Reyes said. He was named among the world’s best mayors and he redefined the traditional role of the vice president with his passion and dedication to public service,” Reyes said.
