Answer

Hi Juno!
That's a pretty hard question because there is no direct translation to it. Anyhow I'll try to give you ways on how to ask "Pang ilang presidente si Noynoy Aquino?" in English. ^^
 
Here are my attempts :)
1. How many presidents were there before President Noynoy Aquino? 
2. Which/What number does Noynoy Aquino come in the list/order of Philippine presidents?
3. What is Noynoy Aquino's ordinal place in the line up of all Philippines presidents?

~ Have a great day!

Answer

Try lang po:
In which order? Like... In which order of presidency does Noy Noy Aquino fall?
Pwede rin siguro yung in what order?

Answer

The correct translation would be:  "In what seat of succession was Cory Aquino elected president of the RP?"

Answer

In what Chronological order is Noy Noy Aquino became a President of the Philippines.

Answer

hello...

I think you should put a dash between "pang" and "ilan" so that you will not get confused on how to use it...It should be spelled as "pang-ilan" meaning "What number in the order?"

"Pang-ilan presidente si NoyNoy Aquino? "

"What number in the order is President Noynoy Aquino?"

:D
