An interview with the President

MANILA, Philippines - When Jessica Soho asked President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III about the biggest achievement of the previous administration he is willing to concede, he replied abruptly, “catering.” The current Malacañang caterer is one of the few things retained from the past administration.

In his first exclusive sit-down interview as President of the Republic, PNoy proves to be a candid and opinionated Chief Executive with much to say about everything from the performance of the previous President to the status of his relationship with girlfriend Shalani Soledad.

The GMA News and Public Affairs special Si PNoy at ang Pinoy tackles the first 100 days of President Aquino in office through the prism of his values and personal history as scion of the powerful Cojuangco and Aquino clans. It offers an uncompromising examination of the difficulties PNoy faced in adjusting to his responsibilities as the new President of the Philippines.

Jessica pulls no punches as she asked the difficult questions that the PNoy administration seems to avoid — from his stand on the redistribution of Hacienda Luisita land to his support of the Reproductive Health Bill. Jessica was also given a rare opportunity to observe PNoy in the Office of the President as he goes about his day as the country’s Chief Executive.

Si PNoy at ang Pinoy — featuring music from rapper Gloc 9 — airs on Oct. 24, on GMA’s Sunday Night Box Office (SNBO) after Show Me Da Manny.
