BENIGNO "NOYNOY" AQUINO III
If he wins, he'll be the first bachelor president of the Philippines.
His "first lady" is probably going to be his sister ( who he is very close to ). Kris Aquino is considered the "Oprah Winfrey" of the Philippines, with the most popular TV talk show in the country.
For those who don't know Tagalog, "Kuya" means my Elder Brother.

Dynasty?
His parents were exiled for opposing Marcos, his father was assassinated as he stepped off the plane in Manila when he was allowed back in the county, his mother won the first election after Marcos fled the country.
She left office in 1992.
So it’s been 18 years since the only Aquino has held the Presidency in the Philippines.
Yeah, that’s quite a dynasty they have there.

Big deal.
In the Philippines, elections are just an opportunity of one group of thieves to replace another set of thieves.
