Actress Bea Binene reaffirmed her long-standing support for former Senator and independent senatorial candidate Bam Aquino, saying he’s fit and suited for the job as a lawmaker.
In a social media post, Binene highlighted Bam’s legislative record, mentioning the key laws he authored during his first term as the youngest member of the 16th Congress. These include the Go Negosyo Act, SK Reform Act, Free Internet Access in Public Space Act, Microfinance NGOs Act, and Libreng Kolehiyo Act.
“Maraming resibo ng nagawa, maraming kababayan ang nakinabang (at nakikinabang) at pangmatagalan at para sa nakararami ang solusyon,” said Bea, who joined Bam’s motorcade around Metro Manila.
“Sa motorcade pa lang nung Linggo kasama si Senator Bam, sobrang nakakataba na ng puso yun suporta, mula sa volunteers, sa mga bumubusina para maipakita ang suporta, lalong-lalo na yung mga nagabang at nagsabing sila ay nakagraduate na dahil sa Libreng Kolehiyo Act. Isang patunay ‘to na may pag-asa pa… Na kung may mga public officials tayo katulad ni Senator Bam, pwede pa tayong hindi mawalan ng pag-asa,” she added.
Bea has actively participated in various house-to-house and market runs across the country, along with Bam’s wife, Timi. She also joined Bam when he filed his certificate of candidacy before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in October.
“Maraming salamat sa serbisyo at sa lahat ng pagmamahal sa ating bansa. It’s always an honor to walk with you kasama sina Ms. Timi, Rory, and Coco, at lahat ng mga Pilipino patungo sa mas magandang Pilipinas! ” she said.
With just days before the elections, she also urged her followers to support Bam Aquino on May 12, emphasizing that his victory would be a win for the entire Filipino people.
“Let’s show Senator Bam some love!! Hindi lang ngayon, kundi lalo na sa May 12! Wag po natin kalimutan si Senator Bam Aquino, Number 5 sa balota, ngayong eleksyon! Dahil ang panalo ni Senator Bam, hindi isang katapusan, kundi isang simula ng panalo nating lahat!” Binene said.
Aquino ranked 11th in the latest Pulse Asia survey conducted from April 20 to 24.
