MANILA, Philippines -- Some may have accused his uncle of being behind his father's murder, but Liberal Party standard-bearer Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III has said he no longer considers his uncle, businessman Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco Jr. as an enemy.
Aquino said on Monday morning that their families had been estranged politically since 1967 but "his generation" in the Cojuangco clan had never "taken personally" their political differences.
He also cast doubts on suggestions that Cojuangco might have been behind his father's assassination.
"In truth, for us in Tarlac, in our generation, we did not take (our political differences) personally and I think we can say that we helped each other for the betterment of Tarlac," Aquino said in an interview with GMA Channel 7's Unang Hirit.
"So, are we now OK? We are no longer enemies. I think that's the closest thing that I could say today," he added.
YEHEY!
