Noynoy Aquino to run in 2010 Presidential Elections

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Senator Noynoy Aquino, who has gone to a spiritual retreat in Zamboanga City, announced that he will run for president in 2010 on Wednesday, exactly 40 days after the death of his late mother, former President Corazon Aquino.

Noynoy made the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency at around 8 a.m. at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City. It is the same venue where his late mother took her oath as president in 1986.

All of her sisters, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel and Kris, were present during the announcement. They, including Noynoy, were all wearing black. Also present in the event were members of the Liberal Party led by Mar Roxas and Frank Drilon.

Noynoy said that his running mate is still uncertain as of this moment. He further said he leave it to Mar’s decision whether he would like to run as vice president.

To quote Noynoy:

“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.”
