Manhattan and Staten Island are separate islands; Brooklyn and Queens are political divisions of the large island-formation known as Long Island.

It is personal choice.

In the Philippines, it is the custom to use the mother's maiden name as the middle initial, and President Aquino knows this. That is how we do it in the Philippines, but not in other countries like the USA.

However, his grandfather and father who had the same name did not use their mother's maiden name as a middle initial either. The grandfather wrote his name as "Benigno S. Aquino" even if his mother's maiden name is "Quiambao". Many government officials like him during that time wrote their name without including the mother's maiden name (Manuel L. Quezon, José P. Laurel, etc.). Ninoy was "Benigno S. Aquino, Jr." The style all three Benigno's use is very common in the USA.

Benigno Simeon Aquino, Sr.
Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr. (Ninoy)
Benigno Simeon Aquino III (Noynoy)

Lastly, Noynoy says: "If you use C., I'm the first." (There is no one else named Benigno Cojuangco Aquino)


The (original) purpose of the suffix is to separate your name from your father/grandfather when you have exactly the same name. In the Philippines, children cannot really have the exact same name as their fathers because we always include our mother's maiden name, but we use the suffixes anyway. (Family is more important to us than "traditional" usage.)

Parallel US example:

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr. (Exact same name = suffix used)

George Herbert Walker Bush
George Walker Bush (Not exactly same name = no need for suffix)

Plus Ninoy (indirectly) told Noynoy to write his name as "Benigno S. Aquino III" when he wrote his 1973 letter to him.

August 1, 2009 Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, icon of people power in the Philippines and around the world, passed away at 3:18 am Saturday, her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III, said. The official cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest. The 76-year-old Aquino was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of last year and was treated with chemotherapy. Last May, she underwent surgery to remove parts of her colon and was brought to the Makati Medical Center (MMC) in June due to loss of appetite. She never left the hospital, as her declining condition sparked a wave of emotion in the country and prompted the widespread appearance of yellow ribbons - on trees, car antennas, and even the Web. "She would have wanted us to thank each and everyone of you for all your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country," Senator Aquino said. "Hinihiling ng aming pamilya ng kaunting panahon para makasama ang aming ina." He added that they chose a private funeral arrangement for the late president rather than avail of a state funeral in Malacañang. [See: No state funeral for Aquino] After being confined for barely two months at the MMC, Mrs. Aquino passed away early Saturday morning surrounded by her children. Celebrity host and family friend Boy Abunda was inside Mrs. Aquinos hospital room during the final moments of the former president's bout with cancer. "They were praying the sorrowful mystery Doon niya hininga ang …

i don't know == == In http://wiki.answers.com/Q/The_influence_of_chinese_and_arab_to_the_filipino, there is a mention of where Fipinos came from. Excavations in archeological sites have proven that during prehistoric times, the native Negritos came in contact with Malays and Indonesians who left their ancestral home in Southeast Asia by crossing the seas in their sailboats (balangay), and settled the Philippine archipelago. Inter-racial marriages took place among them and out of these racial mixtures emerged the Filipino people. It was the Spaniards who named the country, but the cultures are from the Malayan people.
