Jejomar Erwin "Junjun" S. Binay Jr. (born July 12, 1977) is a Filipino politician who served as the mayor of Makati from 2010 to 2015 before being dismissed (with perpetual disqualification from holding public office) by the Ombudsman of the Philippines for graft charges. He is the only son of Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay.
Binay was born on July 12, 1977 as the third of five children and the only son of Jejomar Binay and Elenita Sombillo. He is the younger brother of Nancy Binay, a current Senator, and Abby Binay, a member of the Philippine House of Representatives from the 2nd district of Makati City. From 1996 to 2001, Binay attended the University of the Philippines Diliman, where he graduated with a B.A. degree in creative writing and public administration.
At a young age, Binay was groomed by his father in local politics as a Sangguniang Kabataan (Youth Council) president from 1992 to 2001 and later as city councilor for three consecutive terms.
During his days as councilor, he was concurrently chairman of the Committee of Rules, Legal Matters and Ethics and the Committee on Education, Arts and Sciences. He was also a member of three other committees.
Being barred by the constitution to run for a fourth consecutive term, he ran instead for mayor for the 2010 Makati City local elections. He had singer and former councilor Rico J. Puno as running mate, but lost the election to Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado's running mate, Makati's ABC President Romulo Pena Jr. Binay won the mayoral race defeating outgoing Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado in a landslide victory. His inauguration on June 28, 2010 was administered by Senator Francis Escudero in the Makati City Hall.
