Kaban ni D_BystandeR: WALA MABANGBANG ANG BUL-OG SA PAGSALIG NGA GIHATAG NGADTO NI JOJO BINAY

Even if the P-Noy administration-inspired demolition job against VP Binay reached its record height culminating in the SBRC filing of plunder case in the Ombudsman against him and signed by 10 senators even if the 21 SBRC inquiries were only hosted and limited to the 3 Senate operators, Pimentel,  Trillanes and Cayetano, it proved to be a no big threat to the VP's popularity as the Pulse Asia poll survey came up with a resounding trust people have given to VP Binay with 58% compared to P-Noy's 54%, which earlier suffered a nose-dive plunge when P-Noy, together with his BFF Purisima, was involved in a decision that sent the 44 SAF commandos to their graves in that gruesome massacre that took place in Mamasapano. And this is not ordinary feat that  VP Binay got considering that the demolition job was so intense that if you try to see the netizens' postings, most of them point out to how disastrous the  evil campaign against him has positively influenced to poisoning some of  those we categorize as gullible. But what is rewarding is the fact that it's really hard to put a good man down. Binay's record as a consistent "man of the  masses" can be proven in many ways. In Cebu, for example, when there was a reported severe flooding that affected several towns in the southern part of Cebu that claimed the lives of some unfortunate residents plus a considerable damage to their houses and infrastructure, VP Binay was there and there was no other national leader to visit those places right after the disaster took place except VP Binay. And he was there to give comfort and to sympathize with the people and he brought with him whatever small token of sincere help he could offer to the people. And in several instances everywhere around the country, you can always picture the simplicity of the man and his being seen to be very relax in the company of the common man in every "boodle fight" that he came into. And all these are the characteristics of a true leader, a charismatic person that he is. And he joins a group of supporters and well-wishers anywhere in the country without a formidable throng of security to escort him where he is always swarmed by people from all walks of life. And to get the highest record of trust among all government officials is something that tells and supports the charisma that he successfully built through the years as a veteran public servant and as a true national leader.
