Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III known as Noynoy Aquino or PNoy, is a Filipino politician who has been the 15th President of the Philippines since June 2010.
Following the death of his mother on August 1, 2009, many people began calling on Aquino to run for president. On September 9, 2009, Aquino officially announced he would be a candidate in the 2010 presidential election, held on May 10, 2010. On June 9, 2010, the Congress of the Philippines proclaimed Aquino the winner of the 2010 presidential election. In 2013, TIME magazine named him one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Although the official residence of the President is the Malacañang Palace, Aquino actually resides in the Bahay Pangarap (House of Dreams), located within the Palace grounds.

I really admire our present President because of his extraordinary way of running the country. Compared to other administration, he is really running after those politicians or officials who got our wealth illicitly. Though he’s a bit childish on the way he reacts to certain issues that plague his administration. When he talks about people who he thinks are corrupt, he usually goes into attack mode and lambasts them in front of his audience. Back then, a lot of Filipinos were shocked and disgusted with the way he acted like a toddler throwing a tantrum and hurling insults at those on hot seats like Corona who he insisted was getting in the way of his straight and righteous path towards good governance. For GMA, Pnoy said she should have done something about the transgressions during her term. For me, this is just but alright.

To most Filipinos, he is not good with his numbers either. He thinks that “billion” is lower than “million”. But that is not even the worst thing that the public can take away from many of his statement. Not only did he try to divert the attention of the media from the alleged pork barrel scam, it seems he is not giving

    On May 2010, Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Cojuangco Aquino III was sworn as the country’s 15th President before millions of Filipinos at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, vowing to deliver the nation from poverty and wiping corruption that grip the administration of his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. During the historic event, Aquino disclosed that on top of his priorities is to tend the culture of bad governance and for him to set a good example in getting rid of corrupt practices in public administration (Mabasa, 2010). A good speech, however, does not yet make a good presidency, and Aquino’s first appointments and policy decisions were awaited eagerly.

    Then, these were examined, refined, and interpreted together with numerous official papers. The said board (2015) emphasized the limitations of its report in terms of resource speakers. Statements from Philippine President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, resigned Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Alan Purisima, Chief-of-Staff Armed Forces of the Philippines (CSAFP) General Gregorio Catapang, Lieutenant General Rustico Guerrero, and all allegedly involved Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) heads were not included on the report because all of these personalities both declined to be interrogated and refused to submit their cellular phones for forensic examination. The report possibly lacks an essential piece of the entire truth on the Mamasapano debacle because of its failure to include testimonies from the major actors of the controversy.

Moreover, it even received positive feedbacks, one of which came from Attorney Antonio La Viña, dean of the Ateneo De Manila School of Government.

Unfortunately, it does not take long before everyone loses interest, and the next big scandal is simply a day away. Before you know it, the politicians have moved on to other projects, and what was once a great big scandal is left forgotten and unsolved.…
