Noynoy for President?


Before anything else, let me give you a little background about this.

As we remember, days after the late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino laid to rest , her daughter, Kris Aquino said she will not run for a public office this incoming election and added that Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is not seeking higher office. But, time went by, people and groups are coming to Noynoy persuading him to run.



Well it was when last Sunday, August 30, Noynoy and Presidential aspirant Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II initially met with the Liberal Party (LP) leaders. Noynoy disclosed that their meeting was going well. He was then asked if there was a decision to change the LP standard bearer, which is Mar, he said that there was still no decision yet. "May continuing dialogues pa" he added. Noynoy noted that he will also make up his mind about running for higher office in 2010.

Just this Tuesday, Mar gave way to Noynoy even though it is not yet clear that the latter will run for presidency. “Today, I’m announcing my support for the candidacy of Noynoy Aquino for president for 2010,” Roxas said in a press con and revealed that it is because of his belief that the welfare of the country is above self interest, that's why he supports Noynoy for presidency. “Sa madaling salita, Noynoy has made it clear to me he wants to carry the torch of leadership,” Mar said. He also added that he and Noynoy is pursuing a "common dream" which is change.

"Ito na ang pinakamabigat na desisyon sa buhay ko [This is the biggest decision I've made in my life],” Mar added who already released several premature political ads. He is also set to marry broadcaster Korina Sanchez in October 23 which in their publicity process, includes an interview with Willie Revillame in Wowowee. Their love life was not spared by criticism.

Ms. Korina Sanchez was spotted crying when her future husband announced that he supports Noynoy. Mar's family and relatives were also present in the said event to show their full support to him and was also seen crying.

A day after Mar announced his support to him, Noynoy revealed that he would go for a a retreat this weekend and urged us to pray with him to assess our very own readiness for the future struggle. “Senator Roxas’ sacrifice is the finest example of selflessness that our nation sorely needs in these morally troubled times,” Noynoy praising Mar.

This is just my opinion, why did Korina cried? Is it because of the tears of joy because his soon-to-be husband was selfless when he supported Noynoy? Or is it because she will miss the chance of becoming the First Lady and their political tactics that will make Mar the president has gone to waste?

That is just my opinion for a trivial part of the whole story. I will leave it to you readers to share your comments about the real issue here, Noynoy for president this 2010? Just leave your comments. Thanks
