Now that the election season is heated up, presidential candidates go everywhere to campaign for their bids. And rumor has it that Vice President Jejomar Binay has even reached the nearby country Indonesia.
Well, apparently, it’s only a Binay look-alike.
A group of Filipino friends travelling around Indonesia took a cab and much to their amusement, the driver is almost a 100% look-alike of the Philippines’ vice president and current presidential candidate.
Facebook user Cess Barcenas posted a video on Facebook of the Binay doppelgänger while he and his friends chant the presidential candidate’s campaign jingle “Only Binay”.
The post shared on March 25 garnered at least 300,000 views and more than 3,000 likes and shares. It also struck humor in the tight presidential races in the Philippines as other social media user commented how the post made them laugh.
Adding to the humorous atmosphere the post created online, Barcenas also wrote a short parody story about their meeting with the Binay cabbie driver.
“With an apparent change of heart, Vice President and presidential candidate Jejomar Binay has thrown the towel early in the presidential fight,” Barcenas said in a When in Manila story.
He said that cabbie Binay “had an epiphany” in his sleep to back out of the 5-way presidential race and in turn be a taxi driver in Indonesia.
“I have been working all my life and have earned a lot of money and properties but it has always been my passion to drive, now I will pursue my dream by being a Taxi driver in my new company: ‘Only Binay Taxi.’,” the parody also wrote.
