Abunda shifts support from Villar to Noynoy
MANILA – Television host and talent manager Boy Abunda has shifted his allegiance to Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, which brought the lawmaker’s youngest sister, Kris Aquino, to tears.
Abunda is a known supporter of Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar Jr. and appeared in many of the senator’s television advertisements. But when Noynoy announced his presidential bid, Abunda immediately expressed his support to Kris’ older brother.
According to Kris, Abunda is even willing to sell some of his property and donate the money to Noynoy’s campaign kitty.
She said: “He's (Abunda) really my other brother… Sabi ni Boy, the two houses daw na he has here [ibebenta niya]. Sabi niya huwag lang sa Samar dahil iyon ang ancestral home, at binuo niya iyon for Nanay (Abunda’s mother). Pero si Nanay nagsabi, ‘Hindi Boy isama mo na rin iyon.’"
“Alam mo, iyon friendship namin is more than just friendship. Kasi part of the family talaga siya. Kasi actually ang dalas ibilin ng mom sa kanya, especially when mom was sick, na ikaw nang bahala kay Kris kasi sayo nakikinig yan.”
Kris said she also offered to sell her home, but Noynoy opposed the idea.
“Sabi ni Noy, ‘Thank you very much pero hindi ako pinalaki ng dad na kukunin ko ang bahay ng mga anak mo. Hindi ko naman kaya yan. God will provide.’ Tapos sinabi niya, ‘Hindi, huwag iyong bahay mo para kung ano man ang mangyari may matitirhan kayo. Sabi ko, ‘Why? Takot ka na titira kami sa Times (Street) with you?’” she laughingly said.
She added: “’Alam ko marami akong pending na endorsements. Sabi ko, one-third kay Josh, one-third kay Baby James, one-third sa kanya. Sabi ko, ‘Wow, Mama Kris talaga!”
Aside from Abunda, other celebrities also volunteered to campaign for Noynoy for free, namely Claudine Barretto, Bea Alonzo, Mariel Rodriguez, Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid and Jim Paredes. - Report from Jing Castañeda, ABS-CBN News

Mukang matalino at mas guapo si Gibo kesa kay Noynoy. Sigurado ka na ba sa paglipat mo kay Noynoy. Aminin.
Mag-isip isip kang mabuti habang may panahon para lumipat ng susuportahan.

Noy 4 President
All of us have different opinion but as of now my point is we are on the same road if we chose Presidentiables like Gibo or Villar coz if you look at the life style of both candidates is very high, but if you look at to Noy he is very humble and simple, pure heart wd dedication, I think ky Noy isa lang sigurado tayo hndi xa mangurakot? if we talk about track records il gues as of now thats not too important? why? beacuse just look at Marcos and Gloria? they are both intelligent kya penaikot lang nila tayo sa kamay nila? the changes of our nation were not only in the hands of any of the President but also in ourseleves, as of now we need a leader that leads us through the real changes and transparent governances hndi ung puro kasinungalingan, i trust the ability of Mr. Gibo but i think if he become the President protektahan nlang din nya ang mga padrenos nya sa pulitika? unlike Noy, sa atin xa umaasa kya pag nanalo xa sa atin lang xa dpat mag serbesyo?.....as of now we do not need anyone to be a superhero or someone have superpower but we need of what so called unity once and for all we need to save our nation... Vote Wisely!.........God Saved the Philippines...... Peace......
utang na loob
it's so obvious how abs-cbn campaigned too much for noynoy. lahat ng news nila palaging noynoy ng noynoy, even snn. pinapalaki ang isyu kahit impertenenteng mga kwento basta may koneksyon kay noynoy. palibhasa ito'y bayad sa utang na loob ng mga lopezes sa mga aquinos who brought them back to business when cory became a president.
panawagan po sa lahat ng mga voters, huwag po tayong padadala sa kapangyarihan ng media, at iwasan po and pagsabay sa mga bandwagons. kilalanin po muna ang mga kandidatong iboboto. ito'y para sa ating kinabukasan.
@mvminvinsible
Now that's how it should have been conveyed, very well said with some thoughts....kudos! Although, if I could vote......it would stay with the Aquino. As I've stated earlier, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. They will continue their parents legacy, gyud! However Kris is in the entertainment field, I expect nothing more from her, no offense Kris. Rather it's Nonoy, that the voters need to keep their eyes fixed. The opposition will take whatever are necessary to discredit Nonoy, keep your eye on the ball and watch for the rhetoric, peeps.
Missing home,

Panalo pa rin ako!
hahaha!
paano na yan? kailangan na yata ni Mr. Teodoro si Vilma Santos as VP. at Mr. Villar si Willie the wowowee as VP niya sapagkat malaki ang makukuha ni Noynoy sa pangangampanya ng mga artista. lugi ang ibang kandidato pero di naman siguro kasalanan ni Noynoy yun. gud luck na lng sa kanila. hahaha!
anyway, i go for Teodoro sa ngaun at magbabago pa ito. pero nung nakita ko yung dalawang nakakatandang kapatid ni Kris at Noynoy, nagiba ang pakiramdam ko sapagkat natutuwa ako sa kanila kasi maganda, mahiyain, at mukhang mabait naman. hahaha! kng si Noynoy man ang mananalo,PANALO PA RIN AKO. Sana pag nanalo si Noynoy sana sila magkakapatid ang magdedesisyon at hindi sila magpapadikta sa tabi tabi nila.
your so negative dude..
to rafic 49
I cant understand what ur problem was? lahat na lang ng comments mo negative, wala nba tagalang pag-asa syo ang bayang pilipinas? Im an OFW here at dammam, when noy announced his candidacy, somehow nabuhay sa loob ko ang pag-asa na titino pa ang pilipinas, alam mo kung bakit? kasi sawang-sawa nko sa balitang kurakot ni gloria at pamilya niya, eh si noy? may balita kba na nangurakot sya?? iboboto ko si noy, at least naruon ang pag-asa na sa 6 na taon na uupo sya, hindi pangungurakot ang aatupagin nya bagkus kapakanan ng bawat pinoy including YOU,, so lighten up dude, hindi lahat ng pinoy kagaya mo.
