Frankly, I'm tired of writing all these kababuyan at kamanyakan sa kapangyarihan that these government officials of ours do. I mean, even if we shout to the highest heavens and beat our breasts and clench our fists, these officials are as stubborn as brutes and they'll never admit any wrongdoing, lest we hold them by the hair and put them inside a torture chamber.
This news, however, of Senator Benigno Aquino III having a beautiful girlfriend was like a breath of fresh air amidst this rancid political atmosphere.
When Kris, Noynoy's kid sister, gave her blessing for her bachelor brother to marry, Noynoy uttered not a single word. Who's the girl?
Everybody knows about Noynoy's former tryst with Korina Sanchez (who is now engaged to Noynoy's friend, Mar Roxas) and that of Bernadette Sembrano (who, again, is now married to a Cavite mayor). Yet, when ABS-CBN showed photos of Noynoy's beautiful girlfriend named Shalani Soledad, many people just gazed on her and asked themselves if they know her. Yes, many people do, but they're all living in Valenzuela.
Yes, residents of Valenzuela takes extreme pride in having Shalani Soledad as their councilor, especially those living in the second district.
Shalani was born on the 20th of April 1980, which makes her just 29 years old. She hails from Catanduanes, but spent her adult life here in Manila. She finished elementary and high school at Marymount school and went on to get a Bachelors of Science diploma at the College of St. Benilde of Dela Salle University.
Shortly after, she worked as a front desk officer of Rason SAS hotel where she spent close to four years before working for ABS-CBN for a year.
Many people whom I interviewed says that "xisca" or "Lani", the pet name of Ms. Soledad, is a very bright student. She finished her course with glowing credentials. When she graduated from De La Salle, she served as the front desk officer at Radison SAS hotel, and after four years, went on to work as a talent in ABS-CBN for the "Big Picture".
After a year, she then worked as Executive Provincial Staff Officer for Governor Leandro Verceles Jr and eventually transferred to the Office of Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson as a member of his executive staff. It was then, as some people say, that Soledad met Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino.
A year later, in 2004, Soledad ran and won the number one Councilor slot in Valenzuela's Congressional district 2. She's now serving her second term and might be persuaded to gun for the Congressional post.
Many people who met her described her as "charming, beautiful, not your usual politician, very approachable." She's "ligawin" as some people in Valenzuela says because she has a beautiful face and alabaster-like skin.
She maintains a small but very tight circle of friends. Catch her on Facebook and Friendster.
Who did you talk to about these: "Many people whom I interviewed says that "xisca" or "Lani", the pet name of Ms. Soledad, is a very bright student. She finished her course with glowing credentials. When she graduated from De La Salle, she served as the front desk officer at Radison SAS hotel, and after four years, went on to work as a talent in ABS-CBN for the "Big Picture"." The information that I got was that she did not finish her bachelor's degree (she lacks one PE class) at DLSU-St. Benilde.
