MANILA (Mabuhay) − Except for hyperacidity, Vice President Jejomar Binay said Wednesday that he is in a good physical condition to wage a nationwide election campaign.
“Kaya ba nila ‘yan, boss?” Binay told reporters while hopping when reporters asked his state of health.
Asked what he is doing to remain healthy, the vice president said he is exercising regularly.
“Ewan ko, laki naman ako sa hirap e. Yung iba dyan kung kelan matanda na saka nila naisip na mag-exercise, batak ako sa trabaho,” he said.
He added that he recently had a physical exam, and the results were good.
“Katatapos ko lang ang annual physical exam. Napakaganda ng aking APE. Sabi nga ng aking doktor baka gusto kong mag-badminton,” he said.
He added: “Just a sign of fact that I’m really in the peak of health.”
The vice president is 73 years old.
Binay said his doctor only prohibits him from consuming sour foods.
“Magbawas daw sa maasim na kinakain. (Hyperacidity?) Paminsan- minsan,” said Binay.(MNS)
