Abby vs. Nancy Binay: A Family Feud Shaping Makati’s Future
Table of Contents
The political landscape of Makati City is once again dominated by the Binay family, but this time, it’s a showdown between sisters – Abby Binay and nancy Binay. After years of sibling rivalry culminating in recent electoral contests, the transition of power hasn’t been seamless, and the future remains uncertain. But with Makati being a relatively small city, the possibility of a personal encounter looms, even as the sisters await a clearer picture in three years. Let’s delve into the complexities of this family feud and its impact on Makati’s governance.
A Bitterly Contested Transition
The recent shift in leadership from Abby Binay to Nancy Binay has been anything but smooth. Nancy’s transition team, led by lawyer Christian Robert lim, instantly raised concerns about the lack of thorough documentation from the previous administration.In a press conference on July 8th, Lim highlighted that the new city government received a surprisingly limited handover – a single box containing the Makati Subway project contract, annexes, and appraisals, but lacking ample records detailing the project’s progress.
This scarcity of information isn’t just a bureaucratic oversight; it’s a symptom of the deep-seated rift between the Binay sisters. It raises questions about clarity and accountability, and sets a challenging tone for the new administration as it attempts to navigate ongoing projects and initiatives.

Decades of Distance: The Binay Sisters’ Relationship
The animosity between Abby and Nancy runs deep, stretching back decades. Abby revealed that her last conversation with Nancy was a staggering 20 years ago, predating the birth of her 15-year-old daughter, Martina. When asked if she had attempted to reconnect, Abby poignantly stated, “I can’t call him because I don’t know his number.” (referring to Nancy). This simple statement speaks volumes about the extent of the estrangement.
The family’s political history is riddled with competition. In 2019, Abby decisively defeated their younger brother, Junjun Binay, in a hard-fought mayoral race. Then, in 2025, the tables turned as Nancy successfully ran against Abby’s husband, Luis Campos, securing her own victory. This pattern of sibling rivalry has become a defining characteristic of the Binay family’s political dynasty.

Can the Family Heal? Abby’s Perspective
Given the history of conflict, the question on everyone’s mind is: can the Binay family ever reconcile? Abby acknowledges the complexity of the situation, stating that healing is “not something you can rush” or “fix overnight.” She emphasizes that reconciliation requires effort from both sides, stating, “It’s not something that can be fixed on its own. It has to be both parties need fixing.”
Ultimately,Abby believes the possibility of reconciliation rests with a higher power. “God will be the one to say if it will be fixed. It’s not for me to stay,” she concluded. This deferral to faith suggests a willingness to forgive, but also a recognition that the path to healing is beyond her individual control.
For now, the future of the Binay family - and, by extension, the political landscape of Makati – remains uncertain. While a resolution may be years away, the possibility of unexpected encounters in the city’s close-knit community keeps the story unfolding. We’ll see what the next three years bring as the decision-making process unfolds, but one thing is clear: the Binay family saga continues to captivate and shape the future of Makati City.
