This Is It: Noynoy Decides To Run As President


This is a video of Noynoy Aquino in Club Filipino, Greenhills, San Juan where his mother and former president Tita Cory was sworn in as president in 1986 after leading the "people power" revolution. This video is from the morning program of Unang Hirit (GMA 7).





Noynoy will represent Liberal Party, an opposition party which we all know that they are against Ms. Arroyo.

He stated that after the retreat in the Carmelites in Zamboanga, he had so many talks with other people but only gave 3 instances as an example. First was that a grade 5 boy who is with him in a CD stand. They began to talk and they talked about the boy's dream in the future and Noynoy learned that he wanted to become a singer. When asked about who was the favorite singer of the boy, the boy answered that a young rapper that raps about things but with a social dimension, things that is happening in the country. The second story was also of a grade 5 their in Tarlac. The child asked Noynoy if he would run as president, Noynoy asked the child back if he will run, will the child campaign for him. "Kinakampanya ko na ho kayo" was the child's answer. The third story is about a worker in the Bureau of Customs where Noynoy's friend was asked if the former would run where the latter answered "Tatakbo na nga". Upon hearing this, the worker thanked his friend but the friend asked why he said thanks, "Kasi pwede na ho ngayong muling mangarap." was the latter's answer.

"Noong araw po, tinturuan kami ng aming mga guro... sabi nila na ang pinaka-malaking kasalanan ay ang mawalan ng pag-asa.. Merong Diyos tayong nagmamahal sa atin, kapag tayo'y nawawalan ng pag-asa parang sinasabi rin natin na tinalikuran tayo.. At nung bata pa po ako, ang sabi nila sa akin, 'libre ang magarap'." he said.

"Hindi po ba nakakagimbal... na sinasabing 'pwde na muling mangarap'. Pati ba ang pagarap, hindi na pwde sa kasulakuyang lipunan?" he added.

"Unang una po, tinatanggap ko ang hiling ng sambayanan. Tinatanngap ko rin ang habilin, bilin ang tagubilin ng aking mga magulang. Tinatanggap ko ang responsibilidad na ituloy ang laban para sa bayan. Tinatanngap ko ang hamon na mamuno sa labang ito." was Noynoy's prelude before declaring that he will run for presidency this 2010 election.

"The reason why I am on this path is because I believe the public will support and help me in the campaign," he said. "I want to make democracy work not just for the rich and the well-connected, but for everybody," he added.

I'm certain that Noynoy's first challenge is not to eliminate corruption, but it is to unite the opposition. Where Ex-President Joseph "Erap" Estrada expressed his will to run again this 2010 and also an opposition senator Manny Villar leads the surveys of who will be the next president would be.
