Thanks a lot for sharing about these world leaders.

Pics might be decieving hehe

A very informative post on how leaders looked like before and after taking their duties and responsibilities. From all the elected presidents of the Philippines, Mr. Benigno Simeon " Noynoy" C. Aquino 111 is still the best. Following him during his terms, he brought back dignity of how it is to be a Filipino. The economic and trade relations around the globe, which had made great impact to be able to rise up again from corruption and brutality. I really miss him. Now a days, the country is full of corruption, no respect for life and dignity . Killings are every where being order by the person who should protect for the people, the newly elected government.
Thank you very much @marifa for sharing!
