Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Vice President Jejomar Binay returned to the country late Friday evening (January 15) after a four-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
He was accompanies by his son, former Makati Mayor Junjun Binay, and daughter, Sen. Nancy Binay.
The vice president was greeted by his running mate, Sen. Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan II, as well as Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez.
Binay also helped five overseas workers from the UAE go back to the Philippines.
He said the women were undocumented and were duped by illegal recruiters to work in the UAE.
Meanwhile, Binay said he was humbled by the latest Social Weather Stations survey where he placed as the top preferred presidential candidate.

He said he would just continue campaigning in and out of the country.
Binay, however, did not want to comment on President Benigno Aquino III’s decision to veto the Social Security System pension hike as he had yet to read up on it.
