Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidate Makati City Mayor Abby Binay has gained the coveted endorsement of One Cebu party headed by Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia.

Garcia officials threw her support behind Binay Saturday, April 12 during the One Cebu's northern caravan and proclamation of candidates held at Compostela.

Cebu is the most vote-rich province in the Philippines, with 3.7 million registered voters for the May 12 mid-term elections. This makes One Cebu's endorsement very sought after.

Binay thanked the Governor and vowed to push for the replication of Makati's social programs and smart innovations nationwide to promote a better life for all Filipinos, including Cebuanos.

"Kung ano po ang naibibigay namin sa Makati, nais kong magawa natin sa buong Pilipinas (Everything that we give to Makati, I want to do for the entire Philippines)," Binay said.

Garcia urged her fellow Cebuanos to give their solid support to Binay, as she cited her proven track record as a congresswoman and as mayor of the country's financial center.

"Let us help Abby Binay secure a seat in the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines. Under her leadership, the people of Makati greatly benefited from her transparent and sincere service," Garcia said in Cebuano.

She also attested to Binay's effectiveness as a legislator when they both served as House Representatives. She said she personally witnessed how hard Binay had worked in Congress, not only for the welfare of her Makati constituents, but for the entire nation.

Prior to her election as mayor of Makati, Binay, a lawyer, had served for nine years as pepresentative of Makati's 2nd district.

Garcia lauded Binay for making fellow women proud because of her distinctive leadership, calling her "small but terrible" with obvious reference to her height.

The senatorial bet reiterated her commitment to push for free access to maintenance medicines and better healthcare services being enjoyed by Makati residents. She also cited the urgent need to strengthen the educational foundation of the youth by giving greater focus on the daycare program.

Earlier, Binay also earned the endorsement of Consolacion Mayor Teresa Alegado and Poblacion Occidental Barangay Captain Allary Alegado during her visit to the municipality of Consolacion in Cebu on Saturday.

Binay's other legislative priorities include increasing the takehome pay of government and private sector workers through tax exemptions on overtime pay and bonuses.
