PNoy sells his Porsche
“It puts at an unnecessary risk the people I drive with, the PSG (Presidential Security Group). It has been too exposed. It was like an advertisement that I am inside the car,” the President reportedly said.
PNoy sold his blue BMW last year to buy the luxurious car. Earlier this year, PNoy said he sees nothing wrong in buying the Porsche.
"Hindi ho gobyerno ang nagbayad niyan. Ibinenta ko po ‘yung isang sasakyan ko at nagkataon ho meron namang buyer na ‘yun po ang ginamit ko pambayad nitong sasakyan ko," he said.

Osama bin Laden's death "should not lull us into complacency' - Pnoy
The President of the Philippines, Pres. Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) has released his statement on the death of the Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden who was killed in a raid by the US forces in Pakistan on Monday.
PNoy said the terrorist leader's death "represents the end of the efforts of one man to stoke the fires of sectarian hatred and to promote terrorism on a scale unprecedented in the history of mass murder."
However, the President emphasized that we should not be complacent after Bin Laden's death, but "must continue to consistently and courageously raise its collective voice against religious hatred, political intolerance, and terrorism of all kinds."
Here's the full text of PNoy's statement of Osama Bin Laden's death courtesy of the website of government's Official Gazette:
Statement
of
His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III
President of the Philippines
On the death of Osama bin Laden
[May 2, 2011]
The death of Osama bin Laden marks a signal defeat for the forces of extremism and terrorism. It represents the end of the efforts of one man to stoke the fires of sectarian hatred and to promote terrorism on a scale unprecedented in the history of mass murder. Let us not forget that this is not just an achievement for the United States. It has brought justice to over a dozen Filipinos who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center.
The death of Osama bin Laden should not lull us into complacency. The world must continue to consistently and courageously raise its collective voice against religious hatred, political intolerance, and terrorism of all kinds. We must remain vigilant and united in pursuing peace, pluralism, and collective efforts at security.
One sword has been beaten down; we must continue to be dedicated to the principle of beating the swords of terrorism into the plowshares of progress and peace.
Together with my national security team, we continue to take all relevant precautions and steps to ensure the safety of our people. We, as a democratic and free people, remain committed to fighting terrorism and are in solidarity with the peoples of the United Nations.
