Noynoy for President. The question is, was Noynoy really the one who decided to run for president? Or was he just simply pressured to run by his family and by people who knew they could take advantage of situation of Cory’s recent death.
When Cory died, the whole country seemed to join in the morning. It seemed to me that we the people truly loved her as a mother figure to the nation. And of course, everyone knows how Noynoy’s father was such a great hero for the nation. He sacrificed his life in the interest of justice. He knew he was going to be killed if he came back to the Philippines, but he came back anyway. And this is the legacy that is left for Noynoy to uphold.
Yes, it does seem at first glance that Noynoy Aquino is simply riding on the name of his parents. But look at the times right now. We are a country run by the lowest scoundrels. It is deplorable. Noynoy is a quiet person. Surely the terrible position under the limelight, which his mother was forced to fill, was something that he did not want as well. But because of his name, he too was flung into the terrible responsibility of politics, just as Cory was. Noynoy takes after his mother just as Kris Aquino’s blatant mouth seems to take after her father’s. That’s the way I see it. And perhaps Noynoy is a good choice after all, instead of voting the millionaire who has his own C5 scandal.
