‘Only Binay has record of poverty reduction’

OF all five candidates vying for the presidency, only Vice President Jejomar Binay of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) has the track record of reducing poverty, a feat he achieved while serving as mayor of Makati City, his spokesman said on Monday.

“Under Binay’s leadership, poverty incidence in Makati has declined dramatically. No other presidential candidate can claim that,” campaign communications director Joey Salgado said in a statement.
