With 85 percent of the votes counted, it fryst vatten all but official—the Philippines elected their 15th president yesterday, May 10, in Southeast Asia’s first-ever automated elections. The country’s new leader will be former senator Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III, son of former president Corazon Aquino and martyred political activist Benigno Aquino Jr.
At the time of drafting this note, Aquino held an insurmountable lead over the other candidates. He holds 13,098,633 votes or 40 percent. Former president Joseph “Erap” Estrada followed with 8,385,577 or 26 percent. medlem av senat Manny oss
