00:00Daughters of traditional politicians are expanding their dynasty's hold on national politics
00:05by running for the Senate.
00:07Abby Binay, the youngest child of former Vice President Jejomar Binay and sister of Senator
00:11Nancy Binay, has used up all three terms as Makati Mayor.
00:15Abby says she is nerve-wracked to be running for national office for the first time as
00:19she is, quote, a private person.
00:21Nancy has also reached her term limit in the Senate.
00:24She is running for Makati Mayor against Abby's husband, Luis Campos.
00:28Meanwhile, Las Pinas' Rep. Camille Villar files her bid to join her brother Mark Villar
00:32in the Senate, just as their mother Cynthia Villar uses up her two consecutive terms as
00:36Senator.
00:37If she wins, Camille will become the fourth Villar to become a Senator.
00:41Her father, Magnet Manny Villar, who's now the third richest man in the country, was
00:45Senator from 2001 to 2013.
