Pia Wurtzbach Honors Ex-President Noynoy Aquino
NOYNOY AQUINO – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach honored the late President Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III.
The 15th President of the Philippines, Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III, also known as PNoy and Noynoy, shocked many people, including his friends and family. He died on Thursday, June 24, at the age of 61.
The politician had been suffering from various illnesses since 2019 and only a few people know about his health condition. PNoy passed away because of renal disease secondary to diabetes.
According to people close to him, PNoy was actually set for a kidney transplant and even went to angioplasty as a preparation for it. Unfortunately, he died ahead of his surgery.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN, former Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares said Noynoy initially refused to undergo a kidney transplant because he felt like he’s depriving some person of something.
“But sa kakakumbinse sa kanya na ‘hindi mo naman siya dine-deprive. In fact, parang tinutulungan mo pa nga siya.’ Sa huli nakumbinse na siya,” said Henares.
