ALLAN THE MAN

The proclamation of 3 new senators completed the victory of the administration ticket on Saturday, May 18, in midterm elections seen as a referendum on the President and a preview of the 2016 presidential elections.

The national board of canvassers (NBOC) on Saturday proclaimed Cynthia Villar, JV Ejercito, and Gregorio "Gringo" Honasan as Philippine senators. Other senators-elect who attended the proclamation included Nancy Binay and Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III. Both were proclaimed earlier but held off attending their own proclamation ceremonies.

After his public criticism of senatorial aspirant Nancy Binay last week, comedian Vice Ganda is now calling on the public to stop criticizing the daughter of the Vice President.'

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, the "It's Showtime" host said the voters have already spoken.

“Nanalo na siya so itigil na natin ang kapaitan. Kung nanalo na 'yung tao, ibigay na natin sa kanya 'yung tagumpay niya, 'di ba? Nanalo siya, igalang natin iyon at kinongratulate ko siya. ‘Di na natin pwedeng i-contest iyon kasi tao naman na 'yung bumoto. Igalang na lang rin natin 'yung desisyon ng tao,” he said.

After publicly dissing UNA Senatorial candidate Nancy Binay (now one of the frontrunners in the senatorial race based on COMELEC's latest count), Vice Ganda,on Tuesday, congratulated Binay, and yes, demanded her to throw a blow-out.

Vice Ganda is not impressed with the track record, or the lack of it, of senatorial candidate Nancy Binay.

During a press conference held Monday for his upcoming solo concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 17, the "It's Showtime" host mentioned the name of Vice-President Jejomar Binay's daughter when asked if he has any plans to pursue a career in public service.

"Gusto ko president ako agad," Vice Ganda said in jest, "'Yung wala kang background, pero mataas agad, parang 'yung mga pulitiko lang ngayon. Walang background, pero senador agad."
