Nancy Binay
Maria Lourdes Nancy Sombillo Binay Angeles (born May 12, 1973) is a Filipino politician who is serving as the 22nd mayor of Makati since June 30, 2025. She previously served as a senator of the Philippines from 2013 to 2025.
Binay is the daughter of former Vice President Jejomar Binay. Without any prior experience in government, Binay placed a bid for a seat in the Senate in the 2013 elections and won, placing fifth overall. After being elected, Binay chaired both the Cultural Communities and the Tourism committees of the Senate in the 17th Congress. Binay was re-elected in the 2019 elections for a second consecutive term.
Binay pursued her elementary and secondary education at St. Scholastica's College, Manila. She entered the University of the Philippines Diliman in June 1991, where she initially studied economics before earning a Bachelor of Science in Tourism degree, graduating in 1997.
Binay is the eldest daughter of the former Vice President of the Philippines, Jejomar C. Binay and Dr. Elenita Binay. Nancy Binay is also the older sister of Abigail Binay, and Jejomar Binay, Jr.. Both of her parents and her two younger siblings served as Mayor of Makati.
Between 1998 and 2001, Binay performed administrative duties as a personal assistant to her mother, liaising between the Mayor's office and other governmental departments and offices as well as with the private sector. From 2010 she functioned as personal assistant to her father, who was the vice president at the time. In this role, she liaised between the Office of the Vice President and the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, as well as with other local government offices. In 2012, she was listed as one of the top 20 potential senatorial candidates for the UNA.
On October 5, 2012 Binay replaced Joey de Venecia to run for senator in the 2013 elections. De Venecia had earlier withdrawn his candidacy from the UNA's ticket. Binay is a member of the same party, which was also her father's coalition, and she became the party's Deputy Secretary General. Leading up to her selection as a senatorial candidate for the alliance, Binay consistently ranked in the top 12 in the Pulse Asia November 2012 survey, which ranked the popularity of potential candidates.
Binay is a child advocate. The charitable foundations with which she has been involved are geared towards caring for abandoned children and providing educational opportunities for the less fortunate. Her main platform for the 2013 Senate elections was for improving the outlook for pregnant women, particularly those of poor economic status, as a means of improving infant mortality and health.
Binay did not attend any of the public debates for the senatorial candidates, noted pundit Prospero De Vera, "preferring to engage in debate when she's already in the Senate."
