Noy, the Cory Copycat

How arrogant can Noynoy get???

Apparently that question can be answered by simply listening to anything that comes out of his crooked, salivating mouth.

One example of it however, can be depicted in his response to his desired living in Times Street rather than Malacanang if ever he is elected president.

First of all, how arrogant can he get when he already made PERSONAL plans of being the president?? I mean, who the hell says this things??? The ONLY statements and plans that a presidential candidate should say and aspire for are plans FOR THE COUNTRY and not you own personal insecurities.

And also, didn't Noy mention that he will ONLY stop smoking once he is the president. So he assumes he will win already??? Thick faced if you ask me.. and so if he does not win?? I'm sure he'll ante the smoking up to two packs a day. Tsss...

I also am speculative that Noy's statement about the Times Street residency is a mere popularity vote scheme to gain more sympathy votes. Since Cory also requested to NOT reside in Malacanang during her administration, I guess Noynoy is simply trying to copy her and let the people know about it so they would remember Cory. Also, the notion of Cory not residing in Malacanang also shows how UNPROFESSIONAL she really was. I cannot argue about her effect on the Filipino people, but seriously, CORY IS HUMAN AND SHE MAKES MISTAKES. And there were plenty of them in fact.

What WE, as Filipino citizens, should get out of this is an awareness of these mistakes so as to not let it happen again. IF CORY'S INFLUENCE ON THE FILIPINO NATION IS SUPPOSEDLY A GOOD/HOLY THING, THEN THE PEOPLE SHOULD EMULATE THAT INFLUENCE AND ACT THE RIGHT WAY. AND IF IT WAS CORY'S INTENTION TO UPLIFT THE PHILIPPINES, THEN SHE WOULD WANT US TO DO WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY, AND NOT MERELY HER FAMILY/CLAN.

Of course, if anyone has the right to copy Cory's tactics, its her son. But come on, Noynoy is a grown man and he needs to take responsibilty for himself, that means being your own man.

A true statesman would put the country's interests above his/hers. Clearly, Noynoy is more concerned about himself rather than the country.

Here is an article I came across that would shed some light on this topic:

If elected, Noynoy would rather stay in Times Street

CABATUAN, Iloilo - If elected president, Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino would rather stay in his humble abode on Times Street in Quezon City than in the Malacanang Palace.

But Aquino, the consistent front-runner in presidential preference surveys, acknowledged that such a set-up will likely prove difficult — particularly for his neighbors, who might be hassled by the huge number of people certain to seek the president's assistance.

"Yan inaambisyon ko talaga (That is my ambition). Kailangan at the end of the day kailangan may pakiramdam ka ng normalcy to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground," Aquino said when asked by reporters in Capiz where was campaigning whether he would still stay in Times Street if elected.

"Pero ganun nga ho, iniintindi ko kapitbahay ko. Paano kung napakaraming dadagsa, makikikape, makikibanyo, makikinood ng TV. Baka ako kalmado, normal buhay ko, naging abnormal naman po buhay ng aking mga kapitbahay (But I am concerned about my neighbors. What if many people will pay a visit, drink coffee, use the restroom, watch TV. My life might be calm and normal, but my neighbors' lives might be abnormal)," he said.

Aquino's mother, the late former president Corazon Aquino, lived in in the same Times Street home after her term.

During her presidency, she refused to stay in Malacañang and instead resided in the more modest Arlegui house nearby where windows were not even bullet-proof.
