Is Noynoy the best choice to lead the Philippines?

Yes. Despite being criticized for lacking experience and having few accomplishments during his short stint as a senator, he is still the most appropriate person right now to lead this country among the presidential hopefuls. The presidency is now not a question of intelligence or lack of it as we have tried all those kinds of leaders in the past and yet the country still remains poor (if not become worse). They all failed to eradicate or at least curb the rampant corruption in the government which is basically the very basic reason which hampers the country's progress.

For a number of reasons aside from his own claims of no corruption, Aquino has some signs or indicators of non- or less corrupt administration. First, his current assets and lifestyle speak for contentment in life--his current assets is only roughly 14 million. Second, he did not intend in the first place to run as president even when his mom died were it not for the public clamor, and he even took some time to decide. Thirdly, he has a family legacy to protect, and a slight anomaly will definitely ruin or disgrace his parents; this I believe he will not allow but rather he will boost further.
