British Magazine Names PNoy The Most Influential Bachelor Alive
11/06/2014 – Manila | It looks like President Benigno Aquino III is on cloud nine again after the popular British Magazine “Celebrity” named him “The Most Influential Bachelor Alive”.
“Sometimes, being single is beneficial”, said Ricky Fatton, the editor of Celebrity – UK’s leading entertainment and celebrity magazine.
According to an article released on the said magazine, Aquino’s ability to repel Chinese power in South China sea is what makes him the most influential and powerful bachelor alive. The title, which was previously held by North Korean leader Kim Jung-un before he got married is given only to most competent bachelors and this is the second time in a row that Asians are dominating the poll.
Celebrity magazine asked more than 100,000 respondents online through the company’s website, and top five finalists other than the winner Aquino includes mostly billionaires and business magnates. Popular bachelors who fell short includes Japanese billionaire and developer Yoshikazu Tanaka, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Colombian financier Alejandro Santo Domingo Davila, German-American investor Nicolas Berggruen, and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.
The communist leader Kim Jung-un held the title for 3 years in a row until Aquino dethroned him this month. The next poll will be held again next year but it is expected that Pnoy could retain the title considering his unparalleled achievement in fighting the Philippine’s corrupt government.
“It is not impossible that the Filipino powerful leader could also be one of British Knights in the future if he continue to win people’s heart”, the magazine added.
