“Having had the privilege of personally knowing him before he became president, I can truly say that occupying the highest seat of power in the country did not change his character which was marked by humility, integrity, and patriotism.” aniya

“Was it because he was already used to power, having been the offspring of a distinguished president? No, it wasn’t, because he seemed to be uncomfortable with the trappings of power. It was obvious that his overarching mindset, just like his mother, is that to govern was not to exercise power but to perform a duty to serve,” dagdag ni Biazon

Matatandaan noong 2011, hinirang ni Aquino si Biazon bilang komisyoner ng Bureau of Customs, isang posisyon na hinawakan niya hanggang 2013.
