Jejomar "Jojo" Cabauatan Binay Sr. (born Jesus Jose Cabauatan Binay; November 11, 1942) is a Filipino lawyer, politician and human rights activist who served as the 13th vice president of the Philippines from 2010 to 2016, under President Benigno Aquino III.
Binay was appointed by President Corazon Aquino as officer-in-charge (OIC) of Makati as mayor from 1986 to 1987. After his tenure, he became the appointed OIC governor of Metro Manila from 1987 to 1988 before being elected as mayor of Makati in 1988 and served until 2010, serving six terms as mayor. Concurrently, he was also the chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) from 1990 to 1991. On October 21, 2009 it was announced that Binay would seek the vice-presidency as the running mate of former president Joseph Estrada. Though the latter lost to Benigno Aquino III, Binay won the vice presidency, garnering 41.65% of the vote cast, with runner-up Mar Roxas receiving 39.58%. During his time as vice president of the Philippines, he was appointed chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council and as presidential adviser on overseas Filipino workers but resigned on June 22, 2015, due to differences with President Benigno Aquino and some of his cabinet members.
Binay ran and failed to secure a senate position in the 2022 general elections, garnering over 13 million votes and placing thirteenth on the vote list.
