It is in his bloodline. It is in his heritage. For him, democracy restored must  be enshrined  without fear but with greatest fervor.
Benigno Simeon “Noynoy†C. Aquino III, like second nature is both a fiscalizer, who relentlessly espouses public accountability, and a staunch advocate of liberal democracy.
Proof of   this is his   platform “Bantay Demokrasya: Dugong Bayani: Pusong Bayani,†a continuance of the legacy of his parents, former Senator and martyr Benigno “Ninoy “ Aquino, Jr. and former President Corazon C. Aquino.
The defense of democracy nearly cost Noynoy his life. He was almost killed during the military coup against President Aquino in 1990 when he met retreating rouge soldiers at the front gates of Malacañang. Three of his bodyguards died while he suffered five bullet wounds. A bullet is still embedded in his neck.
A graduate of economics at the Ateneo de Manila University, Noynoy fancies Chinese food and is a shooting and billiards enthusiast.
