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.

Two of his children, incumbent Makati Mayor Abigail “Abby” Binay-Campos and youngest Jejomar “Junjun” Binay Jr. are locked in a public spat for the mayoral seat in Makati, the clan’s bailiwick.

Last week, it was said that the former vice president will discuss the matter in their family.

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.
