As of 4:09 p.m. on Thursday, the National Board of Canvassers tally in Congress showed that Binay was leading with 13,064,791votes while Roxas was in close second with 12,239,635 votes.
On Wednesday, the vice-presidential race proved to be very tight with Binay leading with only approximately 120,00 votes over Roxas.
Votes from some of the provinces and cities canvassed on Thursday gave Binay a bigger margin compared to Wednesday's results. Binay’s lead in North Cotabato, Batangas, Quezon City, Makati City and Davao del Sur ranged from around 20,000 to more than 100,000 votes.
The Congressional tally has canvassed a total of 32.05 million votes, which has almost matched the total number of votes counted by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
The camp of Roxas has continued to appeal for the delay of the proclamation of the winner in the vice-presidential race due to millions of "null votes," or those not read by the vote counting machines.
As of press time, the Congress has counted 17 COCs since canvassing resumed on Thursday. This brings the number of canvassed Certificate of Canvass (COC) to 224 out of the 278 total COCs.
Meantime, Liberal Party standard presidential bet Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III retained his lead over former President Joseph Estrada.
As of 4:09 p.m. the Congress tally showed Aquino with 13,406,247 votes in the final tally. His lead over Estrada has reached 4.8 million votes.
