Benigno Aquino
Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.

He is a fiery individual, filled with tremendous passion and zest for life. Benigno thrives in situations where there is energy, excitement, action, movement, dynamism and drama. Along with his exuberant vitality and enthusiasm, Benigno Aquino, Jr. has an acute ability to visualize future possibilities, and an almost childlike faith in "what could be". Unless he has a vision, an aspiration, or a wonderful dream to believe in, Aquino is not completely happy. Benigno Aquino, Jr. has a great sense of the majesty, grandeur and adventure of life, but tends to overlook the magic in small things and everyday life.

Benigno Aquino, Jr. also has a strong urge to express himself spontaneously and creatively, without conforming to others' ways or conventions. Personal freedom and independence are very important to Benigno and he resists being "owned" or dictated to. Aquino is secretly apt to feel that he is special or charmed - somehow above or beyond the realm of "ordinary" people and mundane life.

Benigno Aquino, Jr. has a dominant ego and can be excessively proud, dominating, or concerned with himself. He has a positive, vigorous, active approach to life, and bringing his intentions and desires to the fore feels more natural to him than going with the flow or merely allowing life to unfold.

Benigno inspires others with his generous spirit, idealism, spark, confidence and joie de vivre, but he can also irritate them with his self-centeredness and insistence on expressing himself freely regardless of others' needs or opinions. Moreover, Benigno Aquino, Jr. has trouble being content in the present and would benefit by learning how to consciously pacify his restlessness and achieve the capacity for tranquility and peacefulness.

My personal Opinion about him is that he is a man of courage, bravery, strong sense of independence and integrity. He is a true inspiration of

    He seems ambitious, striving upward, power-seeking. Passive-positive presidents are receptive, and complaint. They search for affection and reward. They help soften the harsh edges of politics. However, their dependence and the fragility of their hopes and enjoyments make disappointment in politics very likely. Passive-negative types are in politics because they believe they ought to e. They lack experience, and flexibility to perform effectively as political leaders. They always tend to want to withdrawal, escape from conflict and uncertainty through procedural arrangements. Active positive president’s wants to achieve results, active negatives want to get and keep power, passive-positives are after love, and passive-negatives emphasize their civic virtue (Barber, Presidential…

    First, let's admit the fact that he wasn't voted into office because of actual qualifications. He was a lackluster lawmaker in congress and didn't exactly make impressions in terms of his career. He coasted along until his mother died. Suddenly everybody thought it would be a good idea to vote him into office as president. It was what is expected of the son of the late Benigno and Cory Aquino, both great former presidents of the Philippines. He lacks charisma or even basic public speaking abilities. The media has a lot of bad comments especially when he speaks with the press. He commits a lot of stupid pronouncements and sometimes what he says is beyond comprehension. He should get himself a media coach to train him in handling himself around the press and the whole country.…

    Apolinario Mabini was undoubtedly the most profound thinker and political philosopher that the Pilipino race ever produced. Some day, when his works are fully published, but not until then, Mabini will come into his own. A great name awaits him, not only in the Philippines, for he is already appreciated there, but in every land where the cause of liberty and human freedom is revered.…

    “Filipinos made change possible; change comes from the citizenry.” The president if not explicitly had implied this statement several times during his State of the Nation Address last July 23, 2012 and I admire him for that. He’s not lifting his own bench. Also, considering that he had been mentioning and commending several cabinet members because of the improvements in their sects.…

    During the time of Spanish colonial rule, Filipino political thinkers focused on reacting to the oppressive rule that governs the Filipinos. Marcelo H. Del Pilar, an ardent propagandist, reached out directly to the masses by illustrating in his writings, the problems of the Philippines. His thoughts during his last years became increasingly militant until he foregoes the assimilationist cause, saying: "Insurrection is the last remedy, especially when the people have acquired the belief that peaceful means to secure the remedies for evils prove futile." In the case of Graciano Lopez-Jaena, political thinking began mostly by chance. His practice of small medical works among poor Filipinos led him to come to terms to the discriminatory actions of the Friars. Apolinario Mabini, being known as "the sublime paralytic", was engrossed to the practice of establishing a government for the Philippines following the revolution. He also dreamt of worlwide recognition of the Philippine's sovereignty. Andres Bonifacio, on the other hand, was known as the instigator of the Philippine revolution and the founder of Katipunan. His ideology is what guided the Katipunan's liberal, radical and propagandist movements.…

    Suharto was born on the eighth of June, 1921 in Central Java, Kertosudiro during the Dutch colonial era. Being a toddler, he moved from one relative to another because of the divorce of his parents. Suharto was able to bring Indonesia to a state of stability efficiently after Sukarno has stepped down in 1964. With his military background and tow (30 years). Suharto embodied the TAS values of courage, and responsibility, but he fell short on displaying respect, kindness, and honesty. He was courageous enough to lead groups of people towards his ambition. He was responsible during his presidency of recentralizing Indonesia’s government and military. Yet, due to the recentralization, the ordinary citizen's lost rights thus, demonstrating his lack of respect and kindness for them. His action of embezzlement and nepotism proves that he wasn't honest towards his citizens by stealing money from the government.…

    For me President Benigno Aquino III did a good job addressing his SONA last Monday. I know he is dedicated to help our country to be progressive one of course with the help of every Filipino. To be a progressive country, a particular country must attain peace and welfare of its constituents and high economic growth. These things are what our president is trying to accomplish to our country. While reading his SONA, I felt happy because despite of the numerous problems has been encountered by our country, there are still improvements in our nation. President Aquino cited economic achievements including the increase of GDP growth. He said 7.8% GDP growth during the third quarter of 2013 and it was the “highest recorded growth” in Southeast Asia. He also said that there is an increase of the number of tourists visited the country. He is very confident at the year 2016 more tourists will come. Well it is really a good news for our economy and for everyone. He also cited about the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program ( 4Ps) which helps many poor families, and the increase of TESDA graduates. Such programs helps those people who didn’t have enough money to sustained their basic needs and those who cannot afford their studies. It was so nice to know that our government is making alternative ways to remove poverty in our country. But we all know it is not enough to solve this kind of dilemma because not only the government could break this poverty, but it is us who can solve it. Like what PNOY said “Government has been…
