Cory’s grandsons visit Cebu to campaign for Noynoy

CEBU CITY — Grandsons of former President Corazon Aquino visited Cebu to help their uncle, Liberal Party standard bearer Senator Noynoy Aquino, in his bid for the presidency.
Justin Benigno “Jiggy” Aquino Cruz, Jonty Aquino Cruz, and Miguel Aquino Abellada arrived Friday and joined the sorties of Noynoy-Mar (Noynoy Aquino and running mate Mar Roxas) local volunteers during the weekend.
Executive Director Edgar Comeros of Noynoy-Mar said the volunteers went with the three Aquino grandchildren to the first district of Cebu. He said the camp received a positive response from the locals.
Jiggy, meanwhile, said Noynoy’s rating drop in January was due to minimal advertisement spending compared to Senator Manny Villar, who is also running for president.
Jiggy said their camp “can’t give up,” adding they will continue visiting schools and youth groups to promote the platform of their uncle.
The three believe that Noynoy’s honesty, which they all say is evident, and the hope he gives to people, will win him the presidential seat.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

Noynoy and team were in Tacloban but not in Southern Leyte.I understand he is a very busy person.Perhaps its better if he send some members of his family like his sisters or his nephews.Its better if the concentrate to visit schools and market`s.
