Binay fears intensified smear drive

VICE President Jejomar Binay is worried that his good showing in the latest Pulse Asia survey will galvanize his political opponents to intensify the smear campaign against him and his family.

According to the March survey on the performance and trust ratings of the country’s top five government officials, Binay had approval and trust ratings of 87 percent and 86 percent, respectively. Pulse Asia said his performance rating went up by seven percent while his trust rating also increased by nine percent.
