I really can't comprehend why the reformist bloc, mosts are members of Liberal Party and Civil Society (if they are not one & the same) are pushing and spearheading the Noynoy for president campaign. Except for the fact that Senator Noynoy Aquino is the son of the late President Cory Cojuangco Aquino and the late Senator and National Hero Ninoy Aquino, and the big brother of superstar Kris Aquino, there's really nothing much on his resume.
But if the criteria for selection is because he is the only son of two of the most revered persons in our nation's recent history; and that you will also consider the fact that he is a product of a political marriage by two of the most influential and wealthiest political clan in Central Luzon or maybe even in the whole country, being a member of the oligarchy and a scion of both the Aquinos & the Cojuangcos, well that must count for something. But it only means like in the feudal times and politics of old that the privilege to rule or govern is inherited not earned, usually by a male heir . The very same thing that reformists are saying they want to change.
Although I can understand but not without a shriek, the political gamble and risk they are taking that maybe the public outpouring of sympathy during the wake & funeral of former President Aquino will be transform into a vote that may catapult Noynoy to the presidency. The coming survey results probably will be the determining factor if they were right, but until then it's too early to jump into their bandwagon.
