Pinoys in NSW welcome Noynoy-Mar team-up

The candidacy of Senator Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III and Senator Mar Roxas as president and vice president respectively has drawn interest from Pinoys in New South Wales."That makes a good pair. They appear to be the best choice," said an NSW resident Mel Fernandez from Rooty Hill. The Mindanaon has been residing in Australia for the past two years. She said she would be willing to join overseas Pinoys pushing for the candidacy of Noynoy and Mar.Senators Aquino and Roxas will be the standard-bearers of the Liberal Party for the 2010 elections. Mar has earlier this week announced he is willing to become Noynoy's running mate. Earlier he gave up his bid for the presidency to give way to Noynoy.Most Pinoys in Australia were confined to following up the news over Filipino satellite programs available such as GMA 7 or ABS CBN's TFC (The Filipino Channel).Another NSW resident who saw the news said he felt relief that next year's elections would see a Noynoy-Mar tandem."Dati kasi, parang wala ng mapagpilian," said Al of Fairfield, a 40-year old accountant. "At least ngayon may matino-tinong puwedeng iboto."Noynoy's entry into the 2010 race came just a month after his mother, the revered Cory Aquino, died of cancer.Days after his mother's burial, the clamour for Noynoy to run as a 'reformist' candidate heightened."Tinatanggap ko po ang hamon ng taong bayan" (I fully accept the challenge offered me), Noynoy said when he announced his candidacy on September 9th, the triple 9 date, the 40th day since the death of Cory.There are an estimated 200,000 Filipinos residing in Australia, more than fifty percent of them are in the New South Wales region most of them residing in the cities of Sydney, the Sydney-West and Blacktown areas.The Pinoy voters population in NSW - as well as in the rest of Australia - is considered low. The latest unofficial overseas absentee voters registration count in Australia put the number of voters at just around 1,000, Sydney and Canberra combined.
