It was while she was away that a fellow guest told the mayor that the person whom he ordered around was none other than the Vice President Jejomar Binay\u2019s\u00a0daughter.<\/p>\n<p>When Binay\u00a0arrived with the mayor\u2019s food, the erring politician was profuse in his apology. \u201c<em>So sorry po, Senator Nancy. Hindi ko po alam na kayo pala iyon.&#8221;<\/em> (Sorry, Senator. I did not know that it was you. I&#8217;m really sorry.) the mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>Since Sucaldito only got the information from a source, he called up Senator Binay to confirm the story.<\/p>\n<p>The lady senator laughed as she confirmed the incident. \u201c<em>Totoo \u2018yon. Hiyang-hiya nga si mayor sa nangyari pero I told him he has nothing to worry about dahil ganoon talaga ako sa bahay. Kaming magkakapatid ay utusan ng tatay namin,\u201d<\/em> she said. (It is true. The mayor was embarrassed because of what happened but I told him that such events are common in the house. My father really orders us siblings to do things for him.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Pag sinabi ng tatay kong ipagtimpla ko siya ng kape o dalhan ng tubig, sinusunod ko agad. Hindi kasi ako nakaayos nung araw na yon\u2013naka shorts lang ako at t-shirt! Hahaha<\/em>!\u201d she added. (When my father asks me to serve him coffee or bring him water, I follow him right away. I was not properly dressed during that day. I was only wearing shorts and T-shirt.)<\/p>\n<p>That the senator is used to catering\u00a0to her father\u2019s whims isn\u2019t surprising considering she served as his personal assistant prior to being elected as a lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just surprising that other politicians \u2014 her father\u2019s allies \u2014 did not recognize her as a senator.\u00a0 <strong>(Kicker Daily News)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A City Mayor ended up red-faced after he ordered Nancy Binay around in her parents\u2019 own home, thinking she was their maid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3901"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3901"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3901\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.philippinesentinel.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
