Nancy Binay, on the other hand, has no experience in legislation but served as personal assistants to her parents former Makati Mayor Elenita Binay and Vice President Binay, who was also former mayor of Makati City.
The vice president's daughter, also the secretary general of UNA, was the last addition to the opposition ticket after Joey de Venecia III, son of former House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., withdrew his candidacy at the last minute.
In the pre-election surveys, Binay has consistently ranked inside the so-called Magic 12 way ahead of Hontiveros.
Meanwhile, Hontiveros' camp is raising funds to come up with a television advertisement to help increase her popularity among the electorate.
"We are raising resources to produce one last advertisement. You very well know that I'm running a lean and mean campaign. TV ads quite frankly is the most expensive part of the national campaign," Hontiveros said.
Hontiveros said she has not yet received campaign contributions from the sisters of President Benigno Aquino III, who were Akbayan's biggest campaign donors in 2010 with P14 million.
"I do count on their moral support. That's also priceless," she said. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)
