Every Filipino is looking forward to the announcement of the country's new leader in the coming days. As of today, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III leads the official canvassing of votes at the Congress.
Because of this, many Pinoys are already curious whether his girlfriend, re-elected Valenzuela councilor Shalani Soledad, would be attending the inauguration of the President-apparent on June 30.
In an interview with GMA News, the son of the late Senator Ninoy Aquino and ex-president Corazon Aquino indirectly answered this question.
"Gusto ko yung family ko will be there," he told the media during his nephew Josh Aquino's birthday celebration yesterday, June 6.
He just said that his sisters Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky Aquino-Abellada, Viel Aquino-Dee, and Kris Aquino-Yap would be present during his proclamation rites.
Meanwhile, GMA News also reported that the Aquinos have yet to decide between fashion designers JC Buendia and Paul Cabral to design the traditional Barong Tagalog that the senator will wear for his inauguration.
GIVING UP PRIVATE INTERESTS. In a separate interview with ABS-CBN News, Shalani revealed that she and Noynoy have both agreed to give up their personal interests once elected in public office.
"From the start, I think it was very clear naman to the both of us 'yong trabaho namin and kung ano ang requirements nito, and very supportive naman din siya in terms of my career. And of course, ako I understand na bayan muna," Shalani told ABS-CBN News reporter Ces Drilon earlier last month.
On the other hand, Noynoy already mentioned earlier that his girlfriend will have no official role in his administration. He said Shalani would have a different responsibility as councilor in Valenzuela City.
