Noynoy & Shalani break-up rumor hounds cyberspace
Have they, or have they not broken up? Seems the truth is hard to find out at this point in time. The bachelor president has told the media that he wants the little that's left of his privacy for himself. Break-up rumors have hounded the two since the start of P-noy's presidency.

Today, Aug. 16, 2010, the Office of the President of the Philippines unveiled the new website of President Noynoy Aquino. I believe it is a new domain name under gov.ph.

President Noynoy (P-Noy) and the growing anti- wang wang movement
Shalani Soledad on the origins of President Noynoy's 'no wang wang policy,' in this Manila Bulletin interview before the May 10 2010 elections: " I have to tell you this. Si Noy, after Senate hours, ayaw na niyang ginagamit ‘yung plaka nung senator. Pinapatanggal na niya ‘yun. Kahit past 12 na or one, ayaw niya ‘yung nagse-swerve. Dun ka lang sa proper lane mo. At kahit na one o’ clock in the morning na ‘yan, kapag naka-stop ‘yan, kahit wala kang ibang kasabay, you should follow traffic rules and regulations." No wonder, a policy against the use of blinkers and ... Continue Reading...
