"NOY
"You have a Hero for a dad
"Your Mom was an icon of democracy
"You are an Aquino with big shoes to fill.
"Of course, you knew what you were getting into when you entered politics - the ungrateful life of Philippine Politics.
"Today, people will remember you for your good works, your sacrifice, how you fought corruption … etc, etc. Ang Tuwid na Daan.
"Do these matter now ?
"What REALLY matters is for us to be reminded of servant leaders that FILIPINOS deserve.
to continue FIGHTING for the FILIPINO which is what you did.
"Itinuloy mo ang Laban.
"Grateful that God gave you the opportunity to serve our people, too.
"I’m sure Your Mom and Dad are proud of you in heaven.
"Be at peace. Stop worrying now.
"Sincerely praying for your sisters and pamangkins who lost a good brother and Tito Noy.
"You are simply, simply Noy …who is Truly PNOY! Salamat at mahal ka namin.
