After the Fact Special: The Legacy of Benigno Aquino III | ANC

After the Fact: He went by the name “PNoy” shortly after winning the presidency in 2010. Skeptics could have easily dismissed the monicker as the product of some carefully crafted public image — apt and easy to sell, easy to remember. But as his years in Malacañang would later show, it was an embodiment of the kind of leader he was or at least, aspired to be — one who didn’t tolerate abuses, one who aspired for something greater for the Filipino. For a time, his catchphrases — “kayo ang boss ko” and “walang wang-wang” — resonated among the people. Interestingly, many of eulogies included caveats — “he might not have been perfect...”, “for all his faults…” But who actually expects leaders to be perfect, anyway? By what standards are we supposed to measure a president? In this episode, we’ll look back on the presidency of the late Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and the legacy he has left behind.
