MANILA, Philippines — Former vice president and family patriarch Jejomar Binay says he will let the people of Makati decide who is more worthy to lead their city.

Abby is running under the United Nationalist Alliance, her father’s political party, while Junjun is a candidate of his local party, Una ang Makati.
