Vice President and United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) presidential candidate Jejomar “Jojo” Binay has vowed to attend to the needs of indigenous people (IP) and extend help to lift them from poverty.

“Ang problema natin noon at problema hanggang ngayon ay kahirapan. Mahirap pa ho ang mga IP. Kawawa naman kayo. Hindi kayo nakatatanggap ng mga suporta na kailangan ng isang tao [Our problem then and our problem today is poverty. The IP are still poor. It’s a pity. You don’t get government support]” Binay said on Tuesday.
