Noynoy Aquino is the son of former Pres. Cory Aquino and Senator Ninoy Aquino. Do you think he's capable of doing the President's job?

Honestly, its too early for him to run for the highest position in this coming election. We are blessed to have cory and ninoy to lead our nation which remarkably fought for democracy at that time. To have another aquino to serve our country is sure a good thing, but I don't think it's the right time yet. Personally, I haven't seen him in a new project or heard about his affiliations or activities, though he can still prove his worth and establish his capabilities even more while he is in the senate. Then maybe things might change. :)

Yes, you're right. It's too early for him to run the presidency. Did you watch what he said on the national television? With my point of view, he's using what his parents did in our country and i think he's not that good as former Senator Ninoy Aquino when it's comes to speaking to public. But since his one of the Aquino's, maybe there's someone or advisors who can also help him to lead the country.

..Well, Personally, I feel he's not yet ready to run the country if he ever wins the presidency.. This is a bit abrupt decision for him.. The number of people who wanted to support him may not be enough.. Election is still very far and so many things can happen.. But if ever he wins, I will still support him.. I hope Noynoy is really the answer to the Philippines' problems on democracy and justice.. If you remember the case of Erap, many people also encouraged him to run for presidency but when he won, they still manage to remove him from his throne without giving him time to implement his projects.. Most Filipinos are so judgmental and they always wanted fast actions.. they don't realize that implementing national programs and projects needs to be deliberated first in the senate before implementing it so it will really take time to implement any government projects.. I'm not saying that I'm pro or against Erap, but I'm just commenting on the drastic moves of our fellow Filipinos..

yes, i like him too but i also feel that he's not ready because he still proves nothing and he will run the presidency just because of his parents and also maybe because of what happen during his mom's wake that they saw lot of filipinos love his mom so maybe they think that if Noynoy runs the presidency maybe he get the majority of the votes.

although many have said that Noynoy doesn't have the capacity to serve the country, I would rather go for him than anyone else among the presidential candidate because for me it still in his blood to serve the country honestly as his parents did.
Education or achievement doesn't count a lot for me, because it had been proven by his mother who is an ordinary housewife that she has the ability to lead the country. In terms of education, Noynoy comes from a good school with a good educational background and in terms of achievement he has proven himself as he served the country as a senator..
Let us let him prove himself on whatever he can do for our country...

I only have a short answer for this.
If indeed Noynoy Aquino is really that honest or lets just say he really is against corruption, how sure are we, Filipinos, that his cabinet, his governors, his mayors
are as honest as him?
He may not steal from us if he wins, but will other people under his admin not do it?
I don't think so.
I just hope this election will make a change, a better place.
