Pia Hontiveros, ABS-CBN senior reporter and other House reporters noticed that from his body language, President-elect Noynoy Aquino was not too warm toward Vice President-elect Jojo Binay. For one, Noynoy did not invite Jojo to join his initial presscon. But the older Jojo took it in stride. Vice President-elect Jojo Binay received more than 14 million votes, a surprise choice of the electorate in an upset win. He has a solid mandate from the people, having won in 14 out of 17 regions. He should be treated by P-Noy with more respect. P-Noy needs all the support he can get to start his presidency with the right foot. As the observant columnist Manolo Quezon said of Noynoy’s first presscon, President-elect Noynoy Aquino was “combative.” Well, he certainly has started to pick a fight with Chief Justice Renato Corona, Department of Defense Secretary Bert Gonzales and Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Delfin Bangit. Looks like a different Noynoy is coming out of his shell and may shed off his dependence on Mar Roxas who has been “dictating” certain appointments, even opposing Vice President Binay’s apointment to a Cabinet post.
