Presidential wannabe Noynoy Aquino may not have billions to spend in his campaign, but he sure has a lot of guts! At a rally of thousands of his “Yellow Army” supporters, he warned corrupt officials that their days were numbered. That’s gutsy!

            When his lawyers went to the Registry of Deeds, they learned that he bought land that belonged to a foundation.  In short, the title he had was fake.  Policeman could not …
