Top 10 Things You May Not Know About Noynoy Aquino

Published: Jun 3, 2010 - 8:54am

9. He's not really "poor." Though he was the "poorest" presidentiable, GMA News and Public Affairs' Votebook revealed that Noynoy's most recent Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Networth or SALN puts his worth at P14,403,073. So, no, he's not exactly a poor bachelor.


10. He takes his kuya duties very seriously. When sister Kris' love life was still chaotic, he made his sentiments plain to her via Boy Abunda's Kontrobersyal. He said: "Yung taong sinasabing mahal ka, ilagay naman n'ya ang sarili n'ya sa sitwasyon na tama ang pagtrato sa 'yo. Yung wala s'yang marital encumbrances beforehand so he's free to (marry you). Doon wala na akong objections, kung talagang maligaya ka." Clearly, Noynoy is more of a father figure than a brother. (Now, we sort of understand why, at 50, he has remained a bachelor. By the way, like Kris, his birth month is February. Maybe they're more alike than we think.)

    Puro kayo batikos. Hindi kayo yayaman niyan. Ako, after ng election, natalo ang manok kong si Gibo. E walang magagawa, ganon talaga, lumaban e. May mananalo talaga.

    Kaya ang ginawa ko lalo kong sinipagan ang pagtatrabaho ko. Mas mayaman na ulit ako after a month. Kaya sa bayaran ng buwis, mas malaki ang maitutulong ko sa bayan. Kung mangungurakot sila, hindi ko na sagot yon at hindi ko na para habulin pa sila. May mas mataas na batas pa na pwedeng magpataw ng mas mataas na kaparusahan.

    sobrang gagaling nyong lahat... bakit hindi na lang kaya kayo maging presidente... puro kayo batikos.. feeling nyo naman you are all so damn good.... pupusta ako.. wala din kayong alam... put yourselves in their places... dang, hindi importante kung may nagawa syang batas.. ang importante optimistic ang lahat, at naitaas ang pagtitiwala sa gobyerno... ang importante ung magagawa nya bilang presidente.. hindi bilang senator...

    @ana wow may dugong bayani??? o asan na ang kamag anak nila rizal..dapat naging presdente na sila. at age 50 baket wala pang naaccomplish yang si abnoy?? ung tatay nia..mas madami ng nagawa sa ganiang age.

    so ibig sabihin kapag laki ni Josh pwedeng maging president sha kase may dugong bayani sha? kaya tayo nde umaasenso kase madaming madramang tulad mo at wala sa ayos magisip.
  • auxinn Jul 09 2010 @ 12:40am Report Abuse
    sa mga bumoto...kung nde pareho sa opinion nio ang opinion ng iba...respect nalang and deal with it. this is a free country..we have the right na sabihin ang opinion namin.

    it's not our fault kung madaming masasabing nde maganda sa sinuportahan nio. at expect nio na madaming nde bibilib sa kania kase MAS MADAMI ang nde bumoto sa kania.

    si Noy naman..wala talaga akong bilib sa kania at mukhang ang taong nagluklok sa kania ay mga taong magpapababa din sa kania kapag narealize nilang mali ang binoto nila kase he is a spoiled brat and kulang sa kaalaman. pathetic and very embarassing.

    Guys regardless of his background.. the mere fact the he's the son of Ninoy aquino.. may blood sya ng dugong bayani!.. anyways d naman kaya talaga ni noynoy ang pilipinas... tayu bawat isa ang makakakapagbago sa pilipinas! wake up! its been decades already ........ kahit sino umupo.. lagi lang tayung nagmamasid pero kulang sa kilos!

    After all that been said and done. Just support the president the least we could do. Now say something that needed to be change for me . Just want gossip monger be made liable to every drop of saliva they spit out. These are the pest of society. Make everyone be responsible to all they speak of. Freedom of speech need not be a pig pen. Let all whose speak without being able to substantiate their views be put to jail. Good for the people. One lest pesky one down the drain. go go go.

    Whether YOU voted for him or not is irrelevant at this point. HE IS THE PRESIDENT of OUR COUNTRY and at this point in our history and for the sake of the future generation..we owe it to them to make sure, that he succeeds in his job as president, otherwise we are all doomed.
  • onwardbound Jun 09 2010 @ 09:10pm Report Abuse
    there you go. More of the same people who read up and join every article, thread and discussion (even become a fan of noy on FB) just to post regurgitated
    pre-election propaganda against Noy... such fanatics they all are.

    I\\\\\\\'d call your [read: L-o-s-i-n-g] pres. wannabes crude names, but that\\\\\\\'d just be pointless.
  • Tita Aida Jun 09 2010 @ 03:45am Report Abuse
    This is now a fait accompli. He is now the President of the Republic of the Philippines. It is purely speculative that one could have been better or worse than Noynoy.

    Let us watch his performance as President. After the first 100 days and after the first SONA, then let our views be heard.
  • professor.oak Jun 08 2010 @ 04:00pm Report Abuse
    There could have been a better one than Noy. I just hope that he does perform well, unlike what he did when he was a legislator.
  • Seth Jun 07 2010 @ 08:56pm Report Abuse
    I think zombie-buster is one of those people who still voted for ERAP! Masama ang loob kasi TALO yung idol nya! Pero masaya siya ng konti kasi nanalo naman sila Bong Revilla, Lito Lapid at Jinggoy Estrada!!! hehehe...

    Tigilan na ang CRAB MENTALITY. Subukan nyo namang GUMAWA para sa BAYAN!

    i hope your drowning in your own arrogance as it surpasses the amount of rainfall Ondoy brought upon us all.
  • jen Jun 07 2010 @ 04:31pm Report Abuse
    Bakit mo naman nasabi na mas may utak pa ang mga bumoto kay Erap kesa sa mga bumoto kay Noynoy? In my opinion, that’s so wrong! Tigilan na naten ang mga bangayan, wala naman mabuting maidudulot yan. The best thing that we can do is hope that our new president will do better than GMA. Hindi pa naman sya nagsisimula, let’s all give him a chance. Let’s all be positive, wala naman maitutulong ang pagiging negative ng mga tao.
  • angel Jun 07 2010 @ 10:55am Report Abuse
    puede ba tigilan natin ang lahat na mga
    negative na bagay? kaya ang pinoy walang asenso, lagi ng mga puna, lets all be positive , this is a law of nature, kung positive vibes lagi tayo, maganda ang bunga ng mga ito..
  • zombie-buster Jun 07 2010 @ 01:27am Report Abuse
    @objectivity

    personally, i cant help but belittle those abnoy supporters. especially sa mga taong pwede namang mag-isip. sayang lang ung utak na pinagkaloob ng Diyos sa tin. kalokohan kung puro tayo puso. look at us now and the results of heart-based choices.

    sorry. talagang nabobobohan ako sa mga bumoto kay abnoy. mas may utak pa mga bumoto kay erap.

    @jasogrimes: tamad kasi yang bata mo kaya walang naipasang batas. irarason mo sa publiko, na marami ng batas masyado? sabi nga, kung gusto maraming paraan. kung ayaw o tinatamad, maraming dahilan.

    leg·is·late - Pronunciation: le-jəs-lāt: to perform the function of legislation; specifically to make or enact laws

    i guess, a legislator in our country does something else, eh? hahaha
  • lila Jun 05 2010 @ 12:15am Report Abuse
    @jasongrimes

    so, what does a legislator do? please enlighten us.
  • jasongrimes Jun 04 2010 @ 01:58pm Report Abuse
    It is wrong to say that he has not filed any bill because that is wrong. He did filed some bill, quite a lot of them. Di lang naging batas.

    But a legislators job should not be judged only on how many bills he passed because that does not take into account what are the other things that a legislator do. Becuase if that is the only basis, then we should give Lito Lapid flying colors.

    You should also place an emphasis on his participation in the debates, his voting record and how he also "fiscalized" the budget that Malacanang submitted.

    @ninja,

    Your hunch may have some basis. According to my mole at the hacienda,ahhhhh never mind, It might put us in hot water!

    @ninja: haha, insinuating much?
  • ninja Jun 04 2010 @ 01:11am Report Abuse
    I love it! "Yellow fruit!" Who is the writer? So witty!

    Maybe there is something else we do not yet know. Could that reason be why he is a bachelor, why he admires Boy Abunda and Dingdong Dantes so much he wishes to appoint them in government? Oh, I'm just being nasty.

    @Hi, he did not even principally author any bill. Worst performing. Look it up. You mean you voted for him thinking he is an achiever? Too late.
  • sadohaqatar Jun 03 2010 @ 08:05pm Report Abuse
    why do we always have this crab mentality even with educated people? i can't blame somebody from being pessimistic about noy's presidency but such attitude is best kept to ourselves and give 'change' a chance because that is all we can do right now. am sure nobody would like to stick with gma who's a real pain in the *ss thick face hobbit with a devil smirk always on her face, would we?

    i expect spot.ph readers to have a wider understanding and instead spread hope and positive vibes.

    no wonder our country is hasty and squandering!
  • REMIE Jun 03 2010 @ 06:34pm Report Abuse
    let us give NOY a chance to prove himself when he is proclaimed President this June 2010.
  • flip Jun 03 2010 @ 05:55pm Report Abuse
    at sana rin wag nyong masamain ang 60% of voters na hindi bumoto sa kanya. Noy should not ignore these 60%, bagkus dapat ay ipakita nyang nagkamali ang 60% na ito.
  • objectivity Jun 03 2010 @ 05:23pm Report Abuse
    sana naman wag nating maliitin ang pag-iisip ng mga taong sumuporta, bumoto at nagluklok kay noy sa pagka-pangulo..
  • meow Jun 03 2010 @ 04:57pm Report Abuse
    its a free country.. so pede nya nmn cgro sbhin kung ano opinion nya.. That's why he said that hopefully, you guys won't be disappointed kung ano man ang magiging performance nya..

    and I think that the Internet is a good way to voice out your opinions..especially for people like us na hindi naman na-dyadyaryo ang mga opinion, but still want to say what is on our mind about things like this.

    >_< peace!
  • anonymous Jun 03 2010 @ 04:36pm Report Abuse
    It's okay to know facts but don't take it as a serious joke. Facts are true. Like in these facts true lahat yan. You can see it naman Noy's personality.

    Noy did not win because of facts. He won because of his abilities.

    @koko, a little respect to the ones who voted for Noy. My family supported Noynoy and if they are reding this, they were offended with your statement(including me). My family and I supported
    him all the way. It is not the Internet where you can say all of your opinions but you can keep in yourself instead(especially if you want it keep it a secret).
  • koko Jun 03 2010 @ 04:04pm Report Abuse
    i did not vote for him during the elections because i didn't see the leadership potential in him. sana lang hindi mapahiya ang mga bumoto sa kanya at naniwala sa tuwid na daan na hindi pa nagsisimula ay mukhang papaliko na.
  • Me Jun 03 2010 @ 03:12pm Report Abuse
    tama tama... i'm wondering what good he can do for the country... eh kung yung problema nga sa Luisita hindi nila maayos.. pano pa yung problema sa buong Pilipinas... sus..

    @hi,

    You mean hindi mo alam? where were you during the KAMPANYA? di ba iyan ang sinasabi ni Dick Gordon laban sa kanya? mabuti pa daw si Senator Lapid merong naipasa! mag-review ka ng current events mo at hindi puro facebook lang!
  • hi Jun 03 2010 @ 12:39pm Report Abuse
    Noynoy hasn't passed a single bill? C'mon magresearch ka nga bago ka magsalita ng ganyan. Dyos ko po!
  • hello Jun 03 2010 @ 10:49am Report Abuse
    you forgot to mention na in all of the years being a senator (more than a decade) he hasn't passed a single bill yet he was tagged as one of the house biggest budget spender

    wait... i guess everyone knows that

    who cares if he sneaks out of arlegui in the middle of the night? He could sneak himself inside victoria court with shalani, for all i care (and do i hear Kris go....eeeeew. a motel.)

    as long as he doesnt sneak in midnight appointments, midnight chinese deals, midnight comelec calls.
