Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III was elected president of the Republic of the Philippines on May 10, 2010. He will assume office on July 1 with an illustrious name and lineage, drawing memories to his martyred father Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. and his revered mother, former president Corazon "Cory" Aquino. As such, he assumes his father's shattered legacy, cut short by President Marcos on the tarmac of the Manila airport that now bears his name.
