He is not only a look-alike of his uncle, the late Senator Ninoy Aquino, he is also a true-blooded Aquino being the son of the youngest brother of Ninoy, Paul Aquino. He talks fast like Ninoy and is very articulate.
Bam is in the Team Pinoy senatorial ticket, and he pulled a surprise by having edged up into the winning circle based on the latest polls of the SWS.
With Bam in, there is the possibility of 12-0 for the P-Noy’s team given a few more weeks or two months of campaigning before the elections. As P-Noy’s popularity rises so does the chances of his candidates. Will the Sabah stand-off serve as the spoiler? Most likely no.
Bam calls himself a social entrepreneur. He is well involved into programs to help the lot of the poor, especially women. Bam is an accomplished student having graduated summa cum laude in Management Engineering from the Ateneo de Manila University.
His academic record puts him ahead of his uncle in terms of educational preparation. To come close to the shadow of Ninoy, however, he must have physical, emotional and moral courage to face the challenges that will confront him in public life. His courage of conviction must be without doubt regardless of its repercussions to himself and his family. That made Ninoy a cut above the rest, above many of us. Country before self. Bam would be a worthy addition to the Senate and Philippine Sentinel endorses him to all Overseas Absentee Voters (OAV) during the next senatorial elections.
