Officially, we now have a new chief executive–PRESIDENT BENIGNO SIMEON “NOYNOY” AQUINO!
After his oath-taking this morning, President Noy has been catapulted from being an obscure senator living under the light of the glory of his parents to being technically, the most powerful person in the country. So many hopes are being pinned on him, but in his inaugural address, President Noy said that although he has many programs to uplift lives of Filipinos, everyone must make a contribution for the improvement of the nation.
And that is true. Pinning our hopes on a single person is making him God. And only God can deliver us really. The leader is only a instrument. I can only pray for a better Philippines and a better tomorrow for us all.
Congratulations to our new President. We will pray for you and your administration.
In another light, it is really obvious that there was one member of the family who was absent during the inaguration–James Yap, the husband of President Noy’s famous celebrity sister–Kris Aquino. It was reported days before the inauguration that Kris their home with her two kids. This is probably the biggest fight that they have because not even her brother’s oathtaking could dissuade Kris from leaving James. Too bad. I hope they will be able to reconcile. However, James was not able to take part in a very historical moment for their family yesterday.
