Noynoy (and Mar) in the city

Noynoy and Mar, FSUU Gym

Liberal Party’s Presidential and Vice Presidential bets visited Butuan City today for some “Pulong-pulong”.

I go to work in the same building where the event took place, so I especially went back to the office after my hearing this afternoon to satisfy my curiosity.

I thought I was already late because it was already four o’clock when I headed to the FSUU Gym.  I peeped at the venue and it was already crowded with people in yellow.  The temperature was so hot, I had to leave and get some air.  I later learned the people had been there since 3:00pm.

While waiting, I heard comments such as “is Korina coming?” and “Kris Aquino should have accompanied him”.  Hahaha, funny.  Yup, the crowd would have been bigger had Kris Aquino tagged along.

One by one, some personalities from the Liberal Party arrived such as Sen. Drilon, and Congressman Acosta (are they running for Senators?).  Local officials of the Liberal Party were there as well, and of course, would-be local candidates of the city.  Tick, tock, it was taking forever for Noy and Mar to appear.

I lingered more than an hour before they finally arrived.  I was in the FSUU overpass and both passed in front of me, so yeah, I got to shake hands with Noy.

In the gym,  I thought the “Pulong-pulong” would speed away, but the introduction was really taking my precious time and I had a class, so I left at around 5:30pm.

It would have been nice to hear what they had to say.  As I previously said, I need some convincing before I vote for Noy.

Noynoy For President

I was surprised when I passed by J.C. Aquino Avenue corner Doongan Road tonight. There was already a giant signage of “Noynoy For President Headquarters” immediately after the Petron Station. Hmm, my friend Mix’s ancestral home is adjacent to it, btw.

So, yeah, his followers are formally organized here — and I’m guessing that’s the Liberal Party on the move (who else?). In fact, the Liberal Party in the city has long been supporting Tita Cory when she was still very sick. Truth to tell, it was the Liberal Party who organized masses for Tita Cory’s healing then.  Now that he’s certainly running for the highest office next year, the Liberal Party has started the fight in this side of town.

I recall that when Noynoy announced on national TV that he was running for presidency, everybody I met in school, in court, even our clients in the office, were so happy he made the decision.  Include to the list the yayas of my nephews and nieces who were so glad too.  Manang Inday, the janitor of the school, happily relayed the news to me when we met in the hallway later that evening (as if I did not know).

Will I vote for him?  Well, if he would have run for the Vice Presidency, I would not hesitate to say I would.  For President?  I’m open to be convinced.  This early, I know that I will not be voting for Jajajajamby, Erap, Teodoro, Escudero (is he running?).  I’m having a hard time whether to give my precious vote to Villar or Noynoy.

I have nothing else to say because the news and the internet have said it all.  This post is just to satisfy my brother’s prodding to put Noynoy in my blog.  He’s a supporter.
