7 Tough Questions For Noynoy Aquino



Question: Renato Corona claims that " all members, supporters, sympathizers and advocates of the S4S be it religious or priest, military, youth, OFW (overseas Filipino worker), farmer, worker, urban poor, professional, etc. -- have agreed that it is time to stand up against the creeping dictatorship of this administration." Comments? 

Noynoy :“I will not destroy the legacy of my parents. And once God tells me, finished or not finished pass your paper, I can face my parents - looking up, not looking down to be hit on the head - proud to be able to tell them that I continued their fight and finished it, through the help of the people.”

Question: The past year ended with President Noynoy Aquino's bold moves to strike at the heart of corruption and impunity (i.e., Gloria Arroyo, Renato Corona, Benjamin Abalos, Merci Gutierrez,etc.). Is Noynoy now a ruthless leader using his popularity to go after his and his family's enemies?

Answer : I quote a statement from my father's undelivered arrival statement in 1983: “How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by authoritarian dogma. Always, and in the final act, by determination and faith.”

Question:If convicted,will you pardon Gloria Arroyo?

Answer: "Pardon I think is governed by several policies within the Board of Pardons and Parole. The degree of remorse is one component that I remember."

"Of course, at this point in time, they manifest that they are innocent of any of the charges. So if they still profess [innocence], where is the remorse? Where can we find the remorse there?" 

  Question:  Gloria Arroyo said: "Neither the President nor anyone else can truly expect to govern the next five years with nothing but a sorry mix of vilification, periodically recycled promises of action followed by lethargy, backed up by few if any results, and presumptuously encouraging gossip about one’s love life in which no one can possibly be interested."

Answer: I have "no experience in cheating, lying to the public, and stealing government money."

Question:  In 2010, Binay said, "Noynoy can sleep soundly at night. I will not plot against Noynoy." Does that mean he will take a bullet for Noynoy?

Reply: My father, showed us that one brave man can turn the tide. And that courage, like cowardice, is contagious.

Question: What is your stand on the RH bill?

Reply:  We have tried to remove certain issues that can be contentious.Among the provisions deleted from the proposed bill are the fixing of the ideal number of children to only two and changing the appropriate age for teaching sex education to children at 11 years old, or when the child is in grade six or in high school.
We think 11 is a good compromise that will meet the requirements of the people from the Church, and also those who are saying that at nine or 10 years old, there are some already that are at risk of having unwanted pregnancies, so the need to educate them.
Question:When will you quit smoking?

Reply : At the appropriate time, I will quit smoking.
