May 10, 2010 National Elections made a change in Philippine history as it is the first automated election held nationwide.
Today June 9 is also another historical day since this marks the proclamation of Senator Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Cojuangco Aquino III as President-elect of the Philippines and Makati Mayor Jejomar “Jojo” Cabauatan Binay as Vice President-elect of the Philippines.

Noynoy is the standard-bearer of the Liberal Party. He is also the only son of the late former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino and late former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. who were both Philippine Icons of Democracy and known for the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.
Binay is currently the mayor of Makati City. He is the President of the United Oposition, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) and Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP).
Noynoy and Binay will held an oath-taking this coming June 30 as the 15th President and 15th Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines.
The future of the Filipinos lay in their hands. Will they be able to make a better Philippines? We’ll find it out once they’re officially in position.
