The Noynoy Aquino I knew

IN a few days we will have a new President … someone who looks like an opposite in many ways of the outgoing leader we have had in the last six years.

I am writing this piece to share with you the little I know of the man who took up the challenge of seeking the presidency in 2009 by public clamor but was much pilloried and called so many obnoxious names after he was voted into office, winning the May 10, 2010 elections with a little over 15 million votes and defeating former President Joseph Estrada and seven other candidates.
