The passing of former President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino has left the whole Philippines in surprise and grief. The 15th President of the Philippines was beloved and respected by his supporters, like many of the nation's leaders.
What sets apart Noynoy, or PNoy as he is fondly called, is his highly publicized persona. Being born into a family of politicians and growing up as the only son in his family made him groomed for leadership and public service.
In the Aquino family, he is known as the patriarch, following in the footsteps of his father, former Senator Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" Aquino, after his assassination in 1983.
Among his four sisters--Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky-Aquino Abellada, Viel Aquino-Dee, and Kris Aquino--it was the youngest, Kris, who paved a name for herself in show business. Contrary to Noynoy's formal and stoic demeanor, Kris was the entertainer of the family. Their relationship as brother and sister was further put in the limelight after Kris rose to stardom and Noynoy was elected into public service.
They became known for their love-hate relationship, going on sibling feuds and making peace. By the time of Noynoy's death in June 24, 2021, Kris was initially distraught but in peace, knowing she and her brother are on good terms. She had nothing but love and respect for her late brother, who was her source of strength.
Although Kris and PNo'y unconditional bond was tried and tested, they proved to be loving and caring for each other.
Take a look back into their heartwarming and memorable moments in public:
