From Great Real Philippines - Why Filipino voters would vote for Binay?
Binay tops latest SWS survey, gets 29% share of votes (albeit lower than previous surveys)
He cites that historically, all VP were elected President. No Mayor Senator (Duterte Mar, and Grace Poe) was elected as President
As we analyze the data of candidates, I can conclude that VP Binay could be our next President, corruption allegations notwithstanding. Even if the Ombudsman would charge him on the strength of evidences, as alleged to be overwhelming, it will take time to convict and disqualify Binay.
Why would I choose VP Binay to win?
1. He has a strong desire to be the next President. You can see the fervor in his campaign sorties and his activities;
2. He has the machinery and the resources to win the election:
He is the head of BSP whose scoutmasters are teachers. Teachers we know compromise the majority of Board of Election Canvassaers. Binay has unpaid watchers in every precinct in the country.
He has a big bunch of experts and leaders, managers to run his campaign, and lately rumored to be employing foreign (American campaign strategist)
His campaign ads are greatly crafted aimed at neutralizing attacks vs his personality
3. He has the strategy to win (there are allegations that he is behind the DQ vs Sen. Grace Poe, his biggest threat/opponent to winning the candidacy
He has gone around municipalities allegedly promising IRAs to LGU up to P100 million. Who cant resist that offer? All the mayoralty candidates and barangay officials (grass root followers) are likely to support him.
WHO CANT RESIST AN OFFER THAT ONE CANT RESIST/REFUSE
Let us analyze the competition:
1. Grace Poe - as neophyte and probably lacking the machinery and resources to run this nationwide campaign. The DQ cases filed vs her has hobbled her campaign, the perception of the electorate (people are confused as to whether she is qualified or disqualified)
2. Myriam - Many of the youth support her, and her partnership with Bongbong can get her the young voters who compromise the majority of voters. But health concerns are at the back of the mind of the voters. And she has not made many public appearances
3. Duterte - his vacilllation and weaknesses - womanizing drinking, poor health, being a cowboy in approach to justice, and his seeming lack of having national perspective, would put Duterte at a disadvantage. He admits he has no money nor the machinery like Binay to run the campaign. All he has are ragtag group of volunteers mostly from Mindanao.
4. Mar - is seen as weak, his wife is looked at as the strong leader. The perception for Mar is that he is a Class A citizen and perceives the poor as just than. The allegations that the administration violated the election code by spending nearly a billion in pre election period (all ready) puts his "tuwid na daan" theme to be incredible. Pictures of rotting foreign aid to Yolanda victims run through the minds of Visayan voters.

I am not related to Binay nor is this paid posting. But I believe, Binay will win.
