By edelweiz on 9th September, 2009
It’s official. Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, the only son of the late President Cory Aquino and the late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, is running for President in the 2010 Elections. This was confirmed to the media this morning by Sen. Noynoy Aquino himself, delivering on his promise of making the much-anticipated decision 40 days after the death of his mother.
“Tinatanggap ko ang hiling ng sambayanan. Tinatanggap ko ang tagubilin ng aking mga magulang. Tinatanggap ko ang responsibilidad na ituloy ang laban para sa bayan. Tinatanggap ko ang hamon na mamuno sa laban na ito. Tatakbo po ako sa pagka-pangulo sa darating na halalan (I accept the voice of the people. I accept the advice of my parents. I accept the responsibility to continue the fight of the people. I accept the challenge to lead in this fight. I will run in the coming elections),” declared Aquino.Aquino made the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency at about 8 a.m. at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City, the same venue where his late mother took her oath as president in 1986.
