issues after the burial of Pres. Aquino

that photo was published in Manila Bulletin after the day of President Cory Aquino's burial. it was an honest mistake and, fortunately, people from Malacanang see it as that. but with a lot of issues being thrown against President Gloria Arroyo, people that are anti-PGMA are so loving it. but it is not only Manila Bulletin that committed the same mistake, writers in philstar.com and abscbnnews.com and news anchors from TV and radio are also guilty of the same error.

anyway, the biggest issue that is causing a buzz right now after the burial of Pres. Aquino is whether or not her youngest daughter Kris Aquino will run for office or whether or not her only son Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino, Jr. will run for the higher office for the 2010 elections.

"Kagaya po nang pangakong iniwan ng Dad at Mom sa ating bayan, Noy, ikaw at ako ang nasa posisyon para ipagpatuloy ang lahat ng kanilang nasimulan."

Kris Aquino said this before in front of all the people in the Manila Cathedral and in national TV before towards the end of the Requim Mass for her mother. with the 2010 elections just less than a year away, people are speculating whether the two Aquino children will run for the said elections.

critics have said that if Kris Aquino and Noynoy Aquino will run for in 2010, they have a huge chance of winning. with all the people who showed up in Pres. Aquino's cortege, it is obvious that the siblings have the whole nation behind them. besides, Kris Aquino have a very strong charisma that can drew a lot of attention towards her. whether people like it or not, whenever Kris Aquino has something to say, it always seems that the whole world listens to her. and i bet the number of people listened to her when she was interviewed last Sunday in The Buzz was larger than the people who listened to Pres. Arroyo during her last SONA.
