The inevitable has started. The Noynoy Aquino for President signature campaign started earlier today in Baclaran. The group intends to raise one million signatures to convince Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III to run for President in 2010.
The campaign is reminiscent of the 1-million signature campaign led by Manila Times publisher Don Joaquin "Chino" Roces' in late 1985 to convince then Citizen Cory Aquino to run for President for the snap election in February 1986.

The Baclaran Phenomenon is the incredible number of people who come to the Redemptorist Church in Baclaran every Wednesday to make the Perpetual Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. It is estimated that at least 100,000 devotees come on regular Wednesdays, reaching about 120,000 on the First Wednesday of each month. The biggest turnout of the year is on Ash Wednesday. The crowd for that day simply defies estimate.
