Kinastigo naman ng Malacañang ang nangungunang presidential candidate na si Noynoy Aquino sa patuloy niyang pagtanggi na manumpa kay Chief Justice Renato Corona. Pinayuhan ng Malacañang si Aquino na magpaka-presidente at itigil na ang pagiging kandidato. Nagpa-Patrol, Willard Cheng. TV Patrol World, Mayo 17, 2010

MANILA, Philippines – With election fever gripping the whole Philippines, regardless of who wins, “presidentiable” novelty items may soon become collector’s items.

When a photo of a Noynoy doll flashing the L sign first popped up on Facebook, people–both for and against Noynoy–agreed the doll had a “cuteness” factor. Never mind if the doll hardly looked like Noynoy Aquino. At least, the doll had glasses and had a yellow shirt and yellow pin on.

It turned out that the doll is of limited edition, and one source has pointed to Noynoy’s sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz as the one who has been giving it away to a few close friends. Not a few people are hoping Noynoy dolls will be included in the auction site ebay.ph for bidding by toy collectors.

Rock the Vote 2010: Road Trip to Change kick off in Pampanga.

Yellow Youth Volunteers and other Yellow groups and supporters from all walks of life, from students, artists, photographers to mountaineers, etc., gathered together to show what TRUE PEOPLE POWER means.

Bringing the message of CHANGE. Yellow armies started painting the country YELLOW by giving YELLOW BALLER IDs and doing YELLOW RIBBON stickering in almost every town of Pampanga.

MANILA, Philippines – More than 10,000 people registered this afternoon at the 2.5K PiNOY fun run to support Liberal Party presidential candidate Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and his runningmate Sen. Mar Roxas.
Egay Zaragoza of the Sparks For Change said aside from the fun run, the volunteers also conducted a medical mission at the parking lot of Telus building at the Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City.
“This is not a show of force but mainly show of support for the Noy-Mar tandem,” he told philstar.com.
He said the group was formed shortly after Aquino announced that he would be running in the presidential derby in September last year.
Aquino is the son of the late democracy icon and former President Corazon Aquino and ex-senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.
