Presidential Race to the Altar?

Senator Manuel Roxas II has sacrificed his presidential bid for 2010 to give way to fellow Liberal Party member, Senator Benigno “Noy Noy” Aquino III, who is currently away in Zamboanga to seek spiritual guidance. He will be back on Monday but will probably reveal his decision on whether or not to run for president after September 9, the 40^th mourning day of his mother, former President Cory Aquino.

During his speech at Club Filipino, the same venue where President Cory Aquino took her oath as the first woman president, he urged people to pray with him to assess people’s readiness to accompany him in this fight.

Meanwhile, Noy Noy’s sister, celebrity host Kris Aquino said in her show, Showbix News Ngayon, that she is giving 100 percent support to her brother in case he decides to run a presidential campaign. She further declared on Wednesday night that she requested Noy Noy to remain single for the meantime since he already has enough big decisions on his plate as it is.

People tend to speculate that Kris might have reservations about the current girlfriend of Noy Noy, Shalani Soledad, a councilor of Valenzuela’s 2^nd district.

Kris retracts her statement Thursday evening on SNN and apologized for meddling in her brother’s love life. She again promised not to talk about Noy Noy’s affairs of the heart.
