Remember that Binay has sister city agreements with 379 cities and municipalities, 90 percent of whom are headed by Lakas mayors. When Loren Legarda’s numbers started to skid to just about 10 percent, many of Manny Villar/NP mayoralty and gubernatorial candidates shifted to Binay.  And, of course, a substantial bloc of Noynoy supporters, particularly the yellow army led by the Kamaganak Inc. were sympathetic to Binay from the start, punctuated by the Sen. Chiz Escudero endorsement.
