Noynoy Aquino Featured on TIME Magazine

April 17th, 2010 Manny

The Liberal Party bet Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is on the April 25, 2010 issue of the highly respected TIME magazine. It seems that Sen. Aquino inherited his mother’s place on the TIME’s cover for being the “1986 Woman of the Year”.

The article cited Aquino’s journey to the presidency after her mother, Cory Aquino, died of colon cancer and raised the question whether he would be able to “save the Philippines?” It also includes his family life, his singlehood and his struggle to convince voters to choose him over his rival Senator Manny Villar.

On personal note: I hope that someday a messiah will come and save our country just like the Jews who are still waiting for their “Messiah” to come. But with the economic situation in our country today, patience doesn’t seem to be a virtue anymore. We have to do something right here, right now before we ourselves fall into the pit of abject poverty and corruption.
