I even said that it’s difficult to be poor, because he lives in Mountain Province. If someone is sick there, they have to travel all the way down from the mountain. That’s when you’ll realize that it’s nice to have a program like this.)<br /><br />According to Sigmaton, he was forced to stop from schooling at the age of 12 in order to help his family. Despite being a farmer for more than a decade, he still dreams of finishing his studies. During the episode, Revillame vowed to help the attractive farmer all the way until he finish college.<br /><br /><b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

VIDEO: Binay begs the public not to vote Duterte

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Vice President Jejomar Binay has released a video to urge the public not to vote the tough-talking opponent Mayor Rodrigo Duterte on the May 9, 2016 national elections.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVuh_g73pj2Sr-KMvccHOJVAuoK87p59CAHk19DJP6TUE14J-OcJXOotb5DWIeOBWdZiunOv_B7aS7tmS-9dYh3E2twA2NgMEr6qLjRHNOm9pJ6GbhcdmbxNxmD6zc6jttTjIEZeKjsmU/s1600/binay-vs-duterte.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Vice President Jejomar Binay calls attention of the public not to vote rival Mayor Duterte." border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYVuh_g73pj2Sr-KMvccHOJVAuoK87p59CAHk19DJP6TUE14J-OcJXOotb5DWIeOBWdZiunOv_B7aS7tmS-9dYh3E2twA2NgMEr6qLjRHNOm9pJ6GbhcdmbxNxmD6zc6jttTjIEZeKjsmU/s640/binay-vs-duterte.JPG" title="Vice President Jejomar Binay calls attention of the public not to vote rival Mayor Duterte." width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vice President Jejomar Binay calls attention of the public not to vote rival Mayor Duterte.</td></tr></tbody></table>In the nearly-two minute video posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday, April 13, Binay highlighted the alleged killings through death squad in Davao headed by Duterte.<br /><br />"Tuloy-tuloy ang pagyayabang at pagsasabi ni Mr. Duterte na pag siya ang naging pangulo, ipagpapatuloy niya ang pagpatay sa mga napagbibintangan niyang may ginawang kasalanan na paglabag sa batas at ang napapatay niya bata, magkakapatid na apat at yun ho eh mga bagay-bagay na hindi niya itinatanggi."<br /><br />The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) presidential bet added that if we will let Duterte rule the country, we may suffer worse than the Martial Law.<br /><br />"Mga kababayan, tutulan po natin ito. Hindi po dapat manaig ito. Tayo po naglaban sa Martial Law eh itong sinasabi po ni Mr. Duterte ay masahol pa sa Martial Law."<br /><br />Some netizens say Binay's video titled "Right To Life," which amassed more than 1 million views as of press time, is only a desperate move and a way to catch up standing for the presidential race.<br /><br />On Tuesday, Pulse Asia announced that Duterte has overtaken consistent front-runner Grace Poe in the pre-electoral survey conducted from March 29 – April 3. <br /><br /><b>RELATED STORY</b><br /><a rel='nofollow' href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2016/04/duterte-overtakes-poe-in-new-pulse-asia-survey-marcos-leads-vp.html">Duterte overtakes Poe in new Pulse Asia survey, Marcos claims lead for VP</a><br /><br />If the May 2016 elections were held during the survey period, 30% of Filipino registered voters would elect Duterte as the country’s next president.<br /><br />Poe has been relegated to second place (25%) while Binay and former Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Manuel A. Roxas II find themselves statistically tied for third place (20% and 19%, respectively). <br /><br /><b>Duterte's camp speaks up</b><br /><br />Duterte’s spokesperson Peter Laviña, said Binay’s act was “unbecoming of the second highest public official of the land.”<br /><br />“There is no truth to what he is saying. Instead of throwing mud at his rivals, our unsolicited advise to the VP is to squarely answer issues against him on corruption,” Laviña told GMA News Online.<br /><br />The Davao City mayor had promised if elected president, <a rel='nofollow' href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2016/04/look-netizen-reveals-duterte-cayetano-3-to-6-month-masterplan.html">he will end criminality in three to six months period</a>.<br /><br />“As President, madali ‘yan. Sabi ko nga in three to six months tapos lahat ‘yan. I am willing to stake my honor, my position and my life. Three to six months, malinis itong bayan na ‘to, pati yang cartel-cartel na ‘yan,” he said.<br /><br />The Davao mayor also denied allegations that he was involved in extrajudicial killings.<br /><br />Watch the video statement of President Jejomar Binay:<br /><br /><center><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FJCBinay%2Fvideos%2F1196401747051321%2F&show_text=0&width=560" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe></center><br /><b>Here's the full transcript of VP Binay's video:</b><br /><br />"Napapanahon po tayo ngayon na harapin na ito ay moral responsibility natin sa ating pagkatao at ating kausapin ang ating mga kababayan na huwag iboto, hindi dapat maging pangulo ang isang tulad ni Mr. Duterte.<br /><br />"Bakit? Kasi, tuloy-tuloy ang pagyayabang at pagsasabi ni Mr. Duterte na pag siya ang naging pangulo, ipagpapatuloy niya ang pagpatay sa mga napagbibintangan niyang may ginawang kasalanan na paglabag sa batas at ang napapatay niya bata, magkakapatid na apat at yun ho eh mga bagay-bagay na hindi niya itinatanggi.<br /><br />"Siya nga ho ang namumuno ng death squad sa Davao. Hindi dapat mapunta sa yugto ng magsisisi ang sino mang boboto. Ang dapat nga na mangyari ay ipagmamalaki ang kanyang ibinoto.<br /><br />"Pero kay Duterte, kapag nangyari sa inyo ang ginawa niya sa Davao na pagpatay sa mga bata, mahihirap, mga mangmang, batay lamang sa kanyang suspetsang may ginawang mali, lumabag sa batas tsaka ka pa magsisisi kapag ginawa sa inyo yan at pinatay ang iyong mahal sa buhay.<br /><br />"Mga kababayan, tutulan po natin ito. Hindi po dapat manaig ito. Tayo po naglaban sa Martial Law eh itong sinasabi po ni Mr. Duterte ay masahol pa sa Martial Law."<br /><br />Do you think Binay has made a desperate move by urging the public not to vote Duterte?</div>
