Noynoy on cousin: He has more hair

Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is ready to slug it out with his cousin, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, in next year’s presidential race, conceding that Teodoro already has a two-point edge over him – more hair and a wife.
Teodoro was chosen yesterday as the standard bearer in 2010 of the ruling Lakas-Kampi-CMD party.
Aquino and Teodoro are second cousins, their mothers Corazon and Mercedes being first cousins in the Cojuangco family. Mercedes is the youngest sister of business tycoon Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco.
 Aquino, standard bearer of the Liberal Party, said Teodoro was “a worthy opponent” that would “mount a campaign with decency and honor.”
“I wish him well,” Aquino said, even as he admitted that he was not really close to Teodoro.
