Recently, the best friend and the nephew of the late former Pres. Noynoy Aquino revealed that he almost got married before. Speaking to Jing Castaneda, PNoy’s best friend Romy Mercado shared the late former President wanted to have a family.
“Kaya kapag nakikita niya iyong mga kapatid niya, kami mga kaibigan niya na may mga anak niya, ako may apo na, eh gusto niya. Hindi lang iyong partner but he tried,” Mercado said.
Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, Mercado did not name the woman that the late former Pres. Noynoy Aquino almost married but he recalled that he met her before he ran for Congress in 1994 in Tarlac. The best friend of the late former President described the woman as “beautiful and intelligent”. They even led to wedding preparations.
According to PNoy’s nephew, Jiggy Cruz, their family likes the girlfriend of his uncle and “she was really nice”. However, he got busy in serving in the Congress and he probably lost time.
“Iyon ang nakikita ko na hindi na kagaya bago niya naging congressman, sa Luisita na natatawagan niya araw-araw. Ayon napuputol na,” Mercado expressed.
PNoy’s best friend revealed that there were times when the former President would mention that he miss his ex-girlfriend. He thinks she was ready to settle down with him but PNoy was not ready at that time.
