One time or another, I have shared on this blog that I am largely apolitical. I would rather just be reading showbiz gossip than politics news.
The recent clamor for Noynoy Aquino, only son of Cory and Ninoy Aquino- the couple considered to be the mother and father of democracy in the Philippines, to take a shot at presidency is very much misguided. I almost can visualize the administration people laughing their asses off as this unfolds, because for sure this breaks up the opposition furthermore. I was even suspecting the administration have hands on this as they know Noynoy has never been actively in public eye and therefore have a very slim chance of pulling this off.
It is a fact that Noynoy has never been in the public eye simply because he did not submit any significant laws nor headed any important committee in the senate. These whole time he has been a senator he stayed out of public eye, I'm not sure whether by choice or not, and only was recently popular because of the death of his mother. The fact is, Noynoy could not have attained so much attention recently have it not been for his actress sister Kris, who frequently mentioned him on coverages for their mother's wake and funeral and thereafter.
It's a waste. He could have done better than just jump into this circus. His parents' popularity is not his own, and he should be making one for himself by showing achievements.
